Love the opening lines of this poem. Past love does find us everywhere ... Such a sentimental ending <3

Keep penning this is a good write :)

Yaki, it's been awhile! Missed you <3

There's such a powerful connection you write of in this piece, how it had negatively affected you, how you weren't treated the best yet you bonded with this person on surviving and coping with pain.

The part about your traumas made me pause, because when you wrote about the difference between healing and nurturing, it made me think of what we cling to and let ourselves be overtaken by. Do we grow as a person or do we fall back on the pain and aches we knew, because it hurts to move on, too?

same girl same. I hope you heal.

I'm so chuffed this is nominated. It's a rather thought provoking write.

Regards

Craig

And we have missed you! There’s a mask over the face of this poem. Lots of forgiveness but also slight resentment. The connection between these two people is described with a great deal of honesty and admission.
