another sad comment on a broken relationship, even before one has a chance to tell his/her story; very distressing. But life is often like that. Sh-t happens when you least expect it. nice poem , and I love the concise, meaningful style.

I think men (and women) who've "read" extensively know something others don't just from the cover. I think all those experiences, stored as cues, inform the mature reader and save time. Much substance in a few words, J.

Over before it started....sad, but perhaps a blessing. If someone leaves before "reading" the whole story, perhaps they should not be in your life. Good one. Lydi***
Cover blurb written on a book of empty pages.
Sad or merciful? You'll, probably, never know.
We, humans, know beginnings and endings--rarely, the significance
of our life stories.
Great bit of poetry!

Be nice in one way, if we could take a peek at the last couple of pages of a relationship before we buy the 'book.' Then again, I personally prefer 'whodunnits,' warts and all. Far more interesting are they not than your average and rather predictable Mills and Boon bodice ripper. :))

A premonition maybe that it was all over before it even got started. That might have been a lost opportunity. Gone forever. I am thinking here, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
