I can almost hear music playing in the background while reading your words. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations Oliver, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Down on yer knees, son. Won't hurt to have a dozen roses in hand, preferably red (unless she likes yellow better). Enjoy your day

Hello Oliver, So well expressed and the sorrow of breaking up. I remember it all so well when one of my girlfriends growing up broke it off. It certainly wrenches the heart. A great poem that deserves the POTD. Congrats! Winter Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Why is she leaving? Is she trading up? Don’t beg, lie. Tell her you have a rich uncle in Nigeria who has died and left you everything. She’ll stick around.

Dubai would have been more believable

Good idea on the rich uncle. I may try that one. Thanks
