It reminds me of the song "Brandy" by the looking glass from Brandy's perspective of the love affair.

It was released in 1972 by the "Looking Glass". It is on YouTube you might check it out. When I read your poem, I thought of the song "Brandy", but I was a sophomore in college at the time.

It's not really a loss, it could be. It's about the ebb and flow of life.

A beautiful form and a poem that moves along gracefully until felt deeply! It reminds me of my daughter who just left for college...

Thanks so much, Kyen. When you love someone and they are going through a difficult time it's tough. You want to be there for them in their struggles and will let them know you will be supporting them from the shore.
