I understand this lovely promise of two in love . . . the intention is genuine and the trust a requirement necessary in order for the love to grow and move forward. But the heart that has already been dropped and shattered is not easily convinced. Hence the words of Freud control . . . so if someone takes the risk it is the greatest honor ever conveyed!
Brilliant carefully fashioned echo of a truth - a great way to finish my afternoon read - thank you... With Best Wishes Scott www.scotthastie.com

DeleteLovely poem to go with such a poignant quote by Freud.
ReplyDeleteWell Freud was right...ask anyone who has been jilted.
