With All My Fondest Regards

With All My Fondest Regards

 

Thank you, my friend,

for not

getting back to me ..

Before

you did, that is ..

I simply needed the

time and the space

to get my head

back in gear again ..

And the respite

it gave, came at just

the right time ..

Just in case,

you ever might think

I had missed

or forgotten you ..

Well, I want

you to know, I miss

nothing ..

And you, are not

going to become the

exception ..

But I know you felt

good when you

read my last message

by the time

that it took you to

format your answer ..

Which was,

by the way far too

long in the making

to convince me that

nothing

had changed,

for the better, except

maybe, the seasons ..

So I hope

you’ll forgive me

when I wish you the

best of good things ..

And I pray

you will always be

happy together ..

Yours sincerely,

a caring, but otherwise

helpless spectator ..

    Not (I dare to contradict) a love poem to be found here, and not sad in that context - refreshing. But tragically a message I wish I'd sent to at least one of the friends/lovers who touched my life....but has....

    Much appreciated, Neville.

      You are indeed welcome and likewise, much appreciated DD 🙂

      Sometimes you just have to look back from afar. Usually a million miles back. Sadly, communication is inbuilt now and there's no hiding place.

        ......................... thank you for your thoughts on the scribble in question Paul 🙂

        The moving on part of love's expression.

            Not limited to ex-lovers, this could easily be sent to many so called friends or even relatives that choose to fall out of relationships. Nicely done.

            • Neville



              You are indeed so write sorenbarrett .. thank you kindly for pointing that out my friend 🙂

            • Fay Slimm.

              No more respectful approach to end an acid affair than contained in these lines of gentle reminders that love means loyalty. Quite moving these fondest regards and Nev.
              I hope they arrived via your poetic need for expression and not from experience my luverly friend..........x

                I am delighted to inform you dear Lady Fay, that you can beat an egg, but a gentleman never tells 🙂
                he does always say thank you tho' x
