This is an incredible poem. I love the thoughtful reflection throughout and yes, we often make things more difficult by not saying what we should have. There are rhyming spots every now and then and then I expect them all to rhyme. silly me.
I have a tendency to pause at the end of the line, even if there is no period or comma. So some of the lines sort of threw me because they curved around to the next line to finish.
I think I love the last verse the best because it has some rhyming, repetition, my love, and it's a sweet ending.
I had a love like that once, but he died, so no second chance.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
love, LinnAnn
