Complicated personal relationships! The human drama presented perfectly!

Concluding part is more beautiful..... At best, he's a poor substitute That's all he'll ever be. We need the hugs we used to share, The joy of you and me.....thanks dear poetess ❤
Prabir, thank you for your appreciation, and for the little heart!

a very well written poem and an eye opener
Thank you, Louis. 'Well written', coming from you, is a high compliment! : -)
