    • Joe, that is just breathtaking. What an incredible catharsis. I’ve read many things about the disintegration of love, the falling away – but never anything so utterly raw and weeping as this. Such detail and emotion. The final freedom you describe is so anticlimactic, so real in its hollowness. The wound is so visible, the pain so palpable.

      Second person narrative is hugely effective here. It magnifies the emotion of your piece considerably.

      • The beauty of love is all that we imagine. The death of love is never what we thought.
        Thank you for reading (my writes often ramble), and sharing your thoughts and compliments with me.

        Here’s to the sweetness of the dream. 🍻 Cheers!

    • Glad to share my summer and my Joe speak with you. Its funny that one day pain doesn’t hurt anymore, except sometimes. But if it didn’t hurt, was love really real?

      To summer! 🍻 cheers!

    • Really seems to be a struggle to get the formatting to stay the same. Strike two. 😠

    • Lol, take two, and take three to get the picture aligned. I make simple things hard. Its a gift.

      But more importantly, thank you for your sweet compliment. Fools are getting rarer but players are out there in record numbers. Nice to meet another of the vanishing breed. 🌼

    • I swear to all things fuzzy, if I could get that bookmark function to work, this would be well & truly bookmarked! Amen & pass the bottle! Beautiful…

      • And what a functionally challenged group we are! But I’ll take word for deed, and kindly hand you the flask. Thank you, dear Willow 🌼

    • Thanks reading and sharing your thoughts. Its true, “Those that have it at any level are lucky and blessed.”
