WOW! At first I thought this was about the garden-variety "Dear John" situation, but quickly I felt the venom to be more cerebral than heartfelt. I was wondering why this felt like more of a "lecture" than a goodbye message, but soon I found out. I haven't had one of these bad experiences lately, but a very good friend of everyone's here at the Café just messaged me this morning feeling down about being bad-mouthed here recently. I believe those that harass are jealous of those that have great promise. As you say in your final stanza, these people are losers & will never know what it feels like to have true connections thru writing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

When you have finished reading this please use the glue supplied to repair your shattered heart. I'll always love you but as a sister not lover.....
Little does she know the sister is the root cause, the loose elastic knickered sister, the dirty, pretty, younger version of his wife.
Hi Neville, plenty going on.

Ha... I know a couple of guys like that here. One of them is even named John. (and I bet that isn't a coincidence)
The last two stanzas are my favorite. Well done all around though. You brought a general concept and successfully applied it to a more specific place and time. That kind of thing always sounds easier than it really is.

and the irony is that they use the salutation, 'Dear"---
how dear is one who is about to have his or her heart broken.

Once again, many sincere thank you's are being blown in your direction Annette.......Neville
You are so right....there is never an easy way to walk away from someone and say goodbye...especially if one of the two still wants a relationship. Yes, on text messaging and email people feel it is easy because they are cowards and don't have to face the other person. Still, it is a nasty situation. Predators? That is another story! Lydi**
