A simply told tale about the rush of new love and the illusions created by unrealistic expectations, followed by the onset of reality, and the ending of the relationship. It is about going on with life, but with the regrets we carry with us. The poem progresses smoothly through these stages, having just a touch of melancholy. No angst in this piece, merely a journey through the doomed relationship.

Although there is a distinct lack of capitalisation and a slight overuse of the personal pronoun "I" this poem is well worth a read for the subtle yet vivid imagery, and the simply related story that is shown more than told.

Congratulations again ~cynicallaughter on a beautifully written poem.
