Ciao

just in case you hadn't noticed, this is not just a love poem ..

Ciao

 

Before I finally let go, I thought

you should know ..

Just in case, you had not

already guessed ..

It’s true, I confess, I once loved

you far more, than

I even, once loved life, itself ..

a veritable soup of a poem here Nev. Depending on the mood of the reader, the poet, or the recipient, this runs a red hot riff of need for the last word, defiant or melancholy, still hoping or good riddance. In other words, the entire gamut of a breakup

You are very welcome.

Nicely done. Succinct. You leave me pondering and I'm wondering what is next?

[Neville]

I really am most grateful .. thank you lildot :)

[Chris Shaw]

Certainly a declaration of love if ever there was one. Especially those last three lines. I can't help feeling here though, that she actually didn't know. A confessional as well as a parting. Well that depends on whether the ciao is French or Italian. Very nicely conveyed Neville.

I sometimes still wonder myself Chris .. thank you.

The trouble with blokes is that they are terrified to let their feelings be known and that causes a whole lot of doubt in relationships. And how do I know this? Because I do. Too late when it's dead parrot to revive it. Nice bit of self confessional reflection Neville on a love who you would clearly have gone to the end of the earth and beyond for :)

I can see someone reading this and thinking, "Aw, I wish I had known" and another thinking, "Whatever." It does depend on the mood of the reader...to me it means exactly what it says but to someone else it might not. Nicely done

[Neville]

Cheers willweb, many thanks indeed sir .. Neville :)

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

You are right this poem could define many things that we cling to but eventually move on from. Parting is such sweet sorrow as the old bard once said. Nicely done Neville my friend.

[Neville]

Thank you kindly Carlos......... AGT's Neville :)
