      • I wonder if she left because she was scared that she would feel more than just a fling or did she just want you to pay for the bill. Enjoyed this.

        Cova left because she knew if she stayed three people would suffer.What a beautiful kind soul she was.
        Just think, she’s out there somewhere reading a poem or singing a song and there you are ….right there in her mind.
        See….she never left you.
        🙏

      • That would be a wicked turn of fate. To become what you eat and end up on your way to the slaughterhouse.

      • An interesting piece. I somehow imagined Barry screaming something like “Soylent green is people.”

      • Now you mention it and so eloquently .. I think that many of us have been there and asked the same searching questions .. Write on brother Curt .. You do it so well .. Neville 😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

      • Brilliant and sweet. Excellent.

      • This ones of those that is written in simple words yet because the feelings are real and genuine, it’s like the only way to reflect these feelings is by the simplicity. no big words, no complication, it is as it is. It reads for me as a song of love and life, a sweet sad love song.

        • Forgot to mention the word sentimental too, it’s a sentimental poem/song.

        • It’s always a pleasure to read your comments, Light. Thank you for dropping them. Some poems are meant to be stated straight up, like driving a fast moving car and eyes on the road ahead. While some poems are meant to said softly, with flowers strewn across the road and lots of detours to smell them. I like your take on this poem.

      • Thank you, Mary. But those dots at the end of your words, please continue!! ;0)
