You Are Free

So, I tried to love you with all my heart. I gave you my best, But it seems you could not love anyone but yourself, so I was left sad and lonely, Despite having given you my all. Now, I am all alone, and you are free. written December 28, 2021

Thanks, Jo. Thanks so much for your concern and your note. I have been on a two-week tour of the southern U.S. visiting family and friends. I did sign into PS a few times, but I don't enjoy doing so with my cell phone. I am home, as of an hour ago, and you will begin to see me posting poems, commenting, and responding to comments right away. Again, thanks for your concern. Your Kentucky Friend, Milt

Ah! One sided love … can we shrug and move on?

I suppose, Unseeking Seeker. So many times love is one-sided, and if you have experienced it, you realize it merits more than a shrug and moving on. Hope you have not!
