Sometimes we probably imagine what we would like to happen.
Sometimes the pain is so harsh that one tends to seek a form
of imagination that really denies natural progress. 🌺

Such a fantastic poem. I loved the metaphors. I thought the 'I wish, I wish, I wish' really personalized the poem which allowed the reader to be one with the poem. Simply superb!Â

Good Evening
Ciel, Oh my! This is deep! I like to think of love as carefree, but I know it is not. Â

I find since his death a few years ago, My mind has been able to drift back to the first years of when we were married! The father of my kids. I believe we were mismatched but we had two wonderful sons and we did work together and the pulling apart came later.

Found in an Old Miniature Cedar Chest......
.....had much in common with your old folder finding.  When love is gone, or lacking it is so difficult to get it back, or to even want to do so, even though there is no animosity.
