    • How do I go back to edit a typo ?

    • I hope the tea still retained some flavor.
      AS Tom Petty sang, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
      This poem shows real love and patience with a long term relationship.
      They can work…I was in a couple of them…eventually it became too much…but for quite some time, we hung in there.
      I feel the emotion of this.

    • Thanks Jacob much appreciated it’s really fiction for me but it’s more about grief waiting to see in next life
      Great site loving it 😊 thanks 🙏

    • So wonderfully simple even if fictional.

      Welcome aboard the Starsite Enterprise.

    • Ah, the active waiting while also having to move on with the life you still have. When you truly love someone, they stay in your heart forever, and you perfectly captured that here.

    • It’s funny how when they’re alive and they go to the store or some other mundane chore, some may never think about them. And yet when their departure is permanent we can’t get them out of our minds.

    • That awfulness of waiting Julie, and then the realization that it is permanent. Grief is all consuming, but eventually it softens. Life goes on, but how difficult it can be to navigate without a loved one. Relatable words.

    • Yes, on forming opinions on whom to hate…
      this is intense, second stanza is a hard-to-read truth.

      My mother lie dying…but I am pretty sure she was aware enough of what was going on around her…I wonder if she
      wished everyone was not so sad? Lives need to be celebrated, and we often forget that when we are making arrangements after someone close passes on.
      REally good write.

    • It’s funny how judgment is passed so easily. Time is fleeting and we still do it. I hope you’re okay. Very well written
