Close Apart

As into your eyes on our first encountering I strode, in that eon, in my heart, I felt the blow: By chance, an explosion - my Psyche floundering. I should have said so. Perhaps we were blind to the crazy circumstance: Too soon, to a continent far, I'd sworn to go. The terminal saw we'd much more than deep Romance - I nearly said so. Alas paradise! for my statue has no head: We 'talk' every day, but it's not the same, I know. I sense what you think even when no words are said; I have to say so. Reject your concern that I'll find a substitute: If Fate brings another, you'll be the first to know. If feelings so strong now become more dissolute, I will have said so. The world lacks the power our closeness to defeat. This time close apart will the truth about us show. We'll soon be together, our unity complete. Know that I say so.

Additional Notes:
There is a superficial re-affirmation that the author and the subject are physically separated: the first letter of each stanza spells out the word 'Apart'.
