You

I could visit fine museums,
perusing art from every age,
or study all the greatest books,
read every word on every page.

I could travel the world over,
see every sight in every place,
or go to every track and park,
not miss a ballgame or a race.

I could explore every canyon,
every mountain, sea and lake,
or witness the greatest sunset
and watch the sun her colors make.

I could learn from the most learned
and gain the knowledge of the world,
or fight in the greatest battle
and watch the victors flag unfurled.

I could take in every wonder,
see all the world has got to see,
and never could it once compare
to when I have you close to me.

Such a tremendous love to feel

To throw the world aside, in the name of love.  Quick, as you said but yes; very heartfelt piece here.  I can only wonder at this moment, what it would feel like.  Very nice.
