How haunting memories of past can be. A very lonely write but yet enough of longing still there to make it love. Sometimes when we think of past loves it can enhance the relationships we are in. However, it can also deteriorate that same relationship if the "what if" factor comes about.
Enjoyed the write. Thanks for sharing.

This is wonderful! Such literate writing. The second stanza is especially beautiful

A beautiful poem, x

Love is like a flower, a rose if you will and to keep her with you, you have to endure her thorns...You have captured this thought so gracefully within this poem..so gentle and joyfully:)

Good work John, deep and uplifting message within your words, I loved it!

Hugs,

5/5 Ingrid

I guess if we really love someone we will take even the thorns over nothing at all! Very well written. I enjoyed it very much!
