This is a very different look at romance. I suppose the ending will come later. I am in suspense.

Dear david, this is so poetic and so heartfelt how youv written this poem and how your words just flow! I especially loved “ days so lazy odd petaled daisy I gave you a call from one hello how would I know in love I would fall“ sometimes we dont expect somethings to go certain ways, to end up going through them, and your poem the ending is so poignant yet shows acceptance! I loved the title too! Pleasure reading your work today. Sending you light always

Thanks Ink, by the way, today, I was googling Maldives. I'm pretty ignorant, so it was interesting.
