My mind just pushed the 'that was easy' button.

Past loves that have a habit of escaping that drawer with the rusty hinges. As long as that drawer keeps opening, the new folder is likely to remain empty. A great little piece of brevity J.

What a nice metaphor for past and present loves. Short, but so sweet.

I do too...cats are quite cute,
and I've had a few recently.
They are very much their own individuals,
and I can, at least, respect that.
I was always a bigger fan of dogs.
Always happy to review you.
I greatly appreciate your writings.

A simple and beautifully drawn comparison.
The old ones are filed away in creaky drawers. The new ones are waiting to be filled, completed and closed and eventually join the old ones. Life and love are always on the move. Yet we do revisit the rusty drawers and often marvel at the contents.

thank you for your words, Divya,

well, there is at least a folder Jacob ... that in itself must be a start
I don't even have an empty folder waiting :))

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Check your files again, Stella, there must be.
