Retracting my love

It is so difficult to retract that love, Russell, especially when you felt it would last forever. Indeed, it is a "colossal retreat" and some of us never completely lose the feelings we once had for aa loved one. Beautiful haiku, dear. If this is for Michael's contest, I wish you success. Love and blessings, Carolyn
