your message is loud and clear about nurturing a relationship.It must be a flower to be watered, to be cared for. Alas..the ending is sad. A good write that I have read tonight.Thanks for this sharing

So true Sandra as relationships have to be nurtured just like flowers. A union between two people needs communication or it can fizzle.....there is a good lesson in this poem and I always enjoy your narrative style of writing. 10 love Karin

sorry sandra..in this the him and her i interchange....

I think sometimes loved ones think they need to search outside of themselves to win our admiration; to become powerful as further proof of their ability to take even better care of us; not realizing they are removing their presence bit by bit, by becoming so very necessary in those other parts of their life; forgetting the very reason they took on addtional responsibilities. I liked how your poem showed that not everyone is right fore everyone else because we are much more than just a shadow in a mirror.

great write ma'am in the form of a story.the story that is a truth of so many couples.

Sandra, that is powerful, poignant and holds a good message within. Never ignore the love of your life or one day they will not be there. Top marks plus and thanks for sharing it with us my friend. Hugs David
