Thank you for sharing a poem about the happy time of a love lost. I believe it's probably better to dwell on the happy times rather than dwell on the hurtful times. Your presentation and poem are wonderful.

Sometimes the "echoes" of those songs of love are even prettier than the reality in the past. The mind replays and idealizes and we forget the parts that were not so musical. Well said.

    Me, too. I keep telling myself to focus on the good and the lovely... Let's focus on Jesus. Philippians 4:8
    "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things".

This to me is a type of nostalgic love. It is strong, but perhaps, build on memories. Thanks for sharing. Nicely written poem and expressed and presented well

This seems to be suggestive of being powerless in the forces of nature - bound, caught and holding on whilst swept away on a current of lost love. Evocative and haunting. Thanks for sharing, Gypsy. Debbie
