I think I should have loved you presently

By Edna St. Vincent Millay


I think I should have loved you presently,
And given in earnest words I flung in jest;
And lifted honest eyes for you to see,
And caught your hand against my cheek and breast;
And all my pretty follies flung aside
That won you to me, and beneath your gaze,
Naked of reticence and shorn of pride,
Spread like a chart my little wicked ways.
I, that had been to you, had you remained,
But one more waking from a recurrent dream,
Cherish no less the certain stakes I gained,
And walk your memory’s halls, austere, supreme,
A ghost in marble of a girl you knew
Who would have loved you in a day or two.
 
I'll go with the guy who said "yup". Although it wasn't a yes or no question. lol

Very interesting Miley Cyrus question. Thinking outside the box on this one. 10 points.
 
i think it means that some girl wants to have sex or really cares about that person. lol thats what i think.
 
This poem in short, is about a woman who regrets not being with this man that she was crushing on. Take that for a theme and then just take it line by line. it's not difficult, man.
 
someone who died or lost osomeone or didnt take the chance when it was the right time and they regret it.
