Shanky - you've hit the nail on the head with this piece. Captured so much in a few words and written with real delicacy.
"Sensation"
^^^^^^^
Great title - it says so much without saying anything specific. It leaves the reader wanting more; to find out what sensation is being experienced. There are many types, after all: love, hate, pleasure, pain, physical, mental etc.
"From afar I saw her.."
^^^^^
I love the use of the word 'afar' - it is soft and poetic and gives me a perfect visual of this beauty you have seen from a distance.
"face lit like (the?) sun"
^^^^^^
Great simile - now this woman is a 'radiant' beauty in the reader's mind. (mine anyway!)
In fact, she is so radiant, the very sight of her has left you 'crippled' - great word in this context; to be completely disabled by the sight of someone who - perhaps - you have never even seen before.
".....with love I was yet to taste" - this confirms my suspicions: I don't believe you have even spoken yet, but you are in love....hopelessly by the sound of it.
"sensation of a lifetime"
^^^^
If what the 'sensation' was or needed explaining, here we have it - and what a sensation that is!
