Very like a heartbreaking scene from an old black and white film. A very beautiful and moving piece. Love, Andrew xx

Yes, reminds me of that movie classic, with Trevor Howard... mmm, can't remember, just remade too... Only, she didn't walk away. A truthful portrayal of love's tug-of-war with responsibility.

Oh boy, that ending got me hook and sinker! I am happily married, but a hopeless romantic as well. Can't help but want someone in the story to be happy somehow! Cheers, Lori

Dearest, this is such a true picture of loving two men at the same time..on the one hand the husband you have loved for a lifetime, and on the other, your first love returning...Wow, what a choice to face. I, for one, am glad she made the right one, even though her sadness shows.

Lovely, but it will never be made into a movie. Hollywierd would not stand for this ending. Adultery is required.

Fine poem that paints such a sad and poignant picture with great economy of words.

Pain! ..... So with tears descending down her face, she slowly walked away. This is emotional to the core. The way you have used the backdropp of the train station is simply beautiful. An excellent write this is.
