we meet at the cafe...the place just near  where we use to live...now there is so much... ...so much I want to say... ...but honestly...I have to tell you...it is all so insignificant...and really... it really is too late...            it all seems                   so unnecessary...now  ...the words I thought I would say... ...still             ...I have to tell you ... I Love You. although I know it is too late... I want to thank you...while  we sit here...while the coffee is still hot...                     I want to thank you...thank you... for all the things we never said.. ...thank you... for all the things you didn't say...                    I wish I had the words to tell you...                           to say to you...about our split...but our love has no refrain...             there really is nothing left to say...                  still... I have to                       ...I have to tell you                                                        ...I Love you. I want to thank you...our union at an end  you ...were never unkind... ...so I want to thank you  for all the  mean words you never said  though  our story has no refrain... still I have to say... Je T'aime.

wow, such a heartfelt and sincere poem. Love how you use refrains in your poetry. Your story and hers may have no refrain, but now you have given it one with: I want to thank you..... perfect!!

Sir, It may be first time I visit your works. First your face is attracted to me. 100% Bengali face. Unbelievable! Second your first choice is Theater...I wrote many criticisms about Bengali drama with two introductions of the books of Bengali theater ( 1509 A.D to 2011 A.D )...However I enjoyed your poem...Nice...Best wishes from India. Calcutta...

Your repetition is so charming. In music I think of Tschaikowsky. When he thought of a great phrase he drove it home with repetition. Always love your style, Mauice. Love, daver

honest. Sometimes that is the best thing, to know there is no refrain, to leave someone or something, and to show appreciation for it, well said.

That was my second guess! I am such a dough head that makes so much sense. They have a search warrant out for my brains now.

There is a French song that I tried to imitate with this write. I love the song, so I tried to recreate with words what the music makes me feel. Do you ever listen to Modern French Music?

Maurice . . . BTW, "Je T'aime" for "I Love You" in the French is much better and more poetic than the Russian equivalent: "Ya Lyublyu Tebya." Best Wishes, Gary
