The problem is too many people strangle their love by being overly possessive Wilma. It does need room to breathe. Thank you for your comment. Best to you, Diane

This is really quite profound, Wilma. There are people who "smother" their mates with attention and affection. Love needs freedom to flourish; it can't be reigned in. Awesome poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn

I know what that is like...I got accused of betrayal for moving on, when he left me high and dry in july and had no action to speak of, then smothers me with words of love with no action to speak of and constantly complaining if someone else takes an interest? imagine...snort
