I echo Ian's sentiments here and say it is my favourite poem. You catch the inevitable ending well. Bob

hi...told you i would write...this is a good poem...i really appreciate the craftiness and wit behind it...been awhile since i have read...a witty poem...sweet...haha...is this based on a specific story...or a simple concept...either way..it is fantastic...and i would love to know...more about it...

This is a very clever write, and one I will commit to memory. I would have to say this is my favourite poem on PoemHunter. Ian

Whether or not you agree with the subject matter, one cannot help but identify with this one. It's raw, all out there and gives it a poignancy that makes the reader recoil at the last two stanzas. Finely crafted work here Fran. It's honest. And that's what I like.... HG: -) xx

Fran, this is exquisitely, painfully penned. That wonderful companionship of love followed by the surge of disappointment and, worse, the feeling that the author is almost used to or expecting that letdown. Sigh. t x
