Well, you can see it as time wasted, but Dr. Magrisso was writing the poem from the perspective of eternity and almost dying. In the great scheme of things, 6 years isn't very long. However, if you thought you didn't have a long time to live, six years is too short.

For me, I love my H still, but he is just a friend, it seems. So, I love that part of him. It has been five years in April since he started his EA. I don't know when it ended or if it did, I do know that my real H hasn't come back. Perhaps, he's gone forever. My best friend is here, and that's good enough for me for now.
