So sadly beautiful Andrea, much love to you...

Perhaps there is a way to change that yet, Maple. When Spring arrives, year in and year out, you will think of Bird and it can be a happy time for you because of that. If her time is drawing close and she is in so much pain, what better season to pass away than Spring? I hope this helps and I hope you take it the way it is meant. I have nothing else to offer you, Andrea, and I so wish that I did.

Love as always,

Ben

Perhaps there is a way to reverse it. Go back in time and make a new start. I am going to lose some one very dear to my heart too. I can understand how will you be feeling right now. At least you are releasing the emotions, I don't even know how to do it.

Oh dear Andrea I am in pieces reading this I know it is no consolation as to how you feel but please take my love and thoughts wherever you go (hopefully they'll lift you up in some way or another)

Thoughts always

Judging comment:
Herein, the poet beautifies sadness with a soft tone that cannot but allure you to read the piece more than once. A great start and a surprising end. "If I write about her daily, she will continue to breathe." This line but rings in one's head. I hope Spring thrives in you, Andrea.
