Its weird, you reach out to touch…to feel….and when you do, you absorb the essence of it. This essence is what makes you unique for that particular feeling. You held it for a moment in your hands, captured it, realized it, but when you tried to let it go, it didn’t. Apparently, it became a part of you, something inseparable. Its essence gone, but merged with you, inside of you.
Its you now. Period.

No, I think the essence isn't gone. It's disolved in me forever.

Oh! what I could not do for it to leave me and go away...
Oh! what I could feel but not potray...
Oh! what I could do and not betray...
Oh! but it's gone and left be astray.
