At the beginning I thought of this woman being unknown to the narrator. He describes her as a figure of perfection, but the type of perfection only known from a distance. This type, I mean, that you've watched them and their actions but have never truly known them/talked to them. Their beauty and perfection comes from an imaginary source, something of which the eye of the beholder creates in their own mind.
But then in the end, the narrator does know this person and tells the audience of what kind of pain and suffering they are going though in light of this woman’s absence.
I like the idea of creating this perfect image in your head of something that may, at the time, seem inpenetratable. To create an ideal, to admire, to think of a person you don't know and create all the above without knowing... I like that a lot. That being said, this story didn’t go where I expected it to, nor did I exactly want to go there either
Overall, pretty good... obviously very personal

I too think that some people create an ideal image of someone they love, put them on a pedestal. This can lead to heartbreak when they ultimately fail to meet our expectations. This is a very emotional piece I like it.

You moved me
Tapping deep into my romatic feminine side.... I want someone to feel this way about me...not the pain of it, but the love preceding the pain... You can sing the blues to me anytime...
