... and if you'd bothered to read them before burning them, I'm pretty sure they would have seemed foolish and false. ~ gw

Hello Oliver, A great reflection on love’s transformation and the delicate balance between loss and hope. I loved how the imagery of tossing love letters into the fire captures the bittersweet act of letting go, while the possibility of friendship offers a glimmer of connection amidst change. Touching. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
