Grow apart with me, my darling dear.

Part like petals of a blossom,

And the soft wings of a dove.

Our stories intertwined,

For all of this time,

Unravel here

And leave us,

Only

Love.

    Thank you for sharing this touching piece, it captures the complexities of relationships and the beauty of embracing change, love your works, subscribed.

  • Well-wrought! It is true that where people are absent, love can still remain, but it is not always pleasant. Nevertheless, "Better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all."
