Re: Re: Re: clairecherie, are we confusing love and romance? Mismatched expectations!
That's alright. I think that clairecherie is a cute name :) i enjoyed reading your comment on your true love definition. mine is : love knows no distance. my recent partner and I met online in September 2009. We've never met, but we plan to meet this September, since I am in another part of the world. Falling in love again feels really different, when you really found someone who could literally say out what you're thinking, without telling them. The chemistry feels so strong. I know it sounds like a cliche but I am very grateful to know that I could really experience how beautiful love is. :) Maybe the past has changed me a lot in my attitude towards love. Whatever it is, I believe that as writers we can relate to the notion that, writing really helps in making choices and finding our way out. Thanks. :)

Re: Re: clairecherie, are we confusing love and romance? Mismatched expectations!
clarerichard, so sorry... my take is that the reasons for the loosening of bonds is the individual's definition of love. to me, real love is plain care-giving, loyalty in boredom, etc. most people assume their love is dead when the romance wears off. but real love begins there. jmo i enjoyed you poem and comment.

Re: Thanks Sam!
I never thought I would produce a poem with that kind of structure, since I was writing it in tears and all I could think of was just to let everything in my thoughts out. Glad that it leaves a positive impact to you. :) The close was my decision to broke up, which at that time, I was unable to decide. Writing it down really helped in making decisions. And this poem really gave me that little courage that I needed to tell my ex-boyfriend that I love him no more.

Re: This is a whole new questioning of love that u have unleashed :-)
Thanks so much :)
I just realize all those new questions soon after I found my true love recently, and I realized how different it is from my first love, which is a total heartbreaking story. That poem was written along with tears :( It's my first attempt, no editing involved, and I just post it on my old blog. And I'm satisfied that the burden had started to lessen after writing it down.

I really liked your use of couplets and the refrain gave the poem its impetus for me! The close was a fine summation, too! sam
