    Your Tankas really speak volumes Meme! It does take two... letting go is so painful and you have etched those feelings nicely within this poem and form sweet one!

    Oh Meme, this is so true and powerful. You have done so well to fit this really touching message inside a small formed poem such as the Tanka. Well done.

    I really like the idea of the poem, and how you link the memories, and letting go, with being two people, and not just one. This is a poem that could easily take a reader down their own memory lane.

    I found your title very fitting, and I would never of thought of putting a title like that on it, very creative.

    Nice work.

      Thank you ladies for the nice comments :)
      And I have to say that letting go is something I find to be so hard because I give it all and I always leap with faith so it becomes so hard to retreat back...

    I truly loved this poem for it is very true. When you dont feel love anymore you know it. I truly loved the way you worded this though. It's not cliche at all. *retreat from memories* is a very unique line!. This is like a note to the one you once loved. Anyway. Your tankas always blow me away because you have such away to impact the meaning with such few lines. Beautiful
