Gosh my dear! how with your masterful pen You brought unrequited love alive again. there is love, but there is not equal love, no equal give and take... how much courage it takes one to be firmed and decide to walk away, not only for oneself but also to the other part, to leave them so they can learn and grow. I find real wisdom here dear Chris.

And there am I re.arranging my journal! How fine your writing always is, Chris, you have that skill of writing all you want to say without a tome of words; you pick language with amazing ability. What you say, whatever your thinking, touches salient thoughts and emotions. Grand poetry.

Memories are so difficult. If only the bad ones were so easy to forget. Only time will hopefully bring the healing we seek. Only time will make it possible to remember only the
happiness that has passed and be all that we cherish.
Take care - Dave

I have to say that I love the mechanics of the poem a little bit more than the content. It's no easy feat to fit a ton of emotion amongst the meter and rhyme scheme. The effort should be celebrated. I must have read it over ten times to get it all. Great work on your part.

That was very moving and deep, i loved the little rhyme scheme at the start. This was very well written indeed.
And the end... i liked the way you ended this piece.
Great poem

'with ease, and little fuss', aye, it does seem that way.. and yet still, we keep revisiting those old memories.
Nicely worded, Christine.

Remembering the past hurts and rather than being swallowed again by the pain, expressing the experience in a beautifully written poem almost everyone can relate to is a gift, your beautiful gift, Christine.
