ah dont be so sad, sometimes you know, you just have to take a chance, for it might be the right path. Our hearts break easily, but we have to give love a chance sometimes. Tough decisons.
Very special write Retta.

I really liked the first stanzas assonance, 'I rise thinking'
Of our..night,'
You hold the unstressed I's between the stressed, with proper numbers.
'Wondering at the things
You always say,
I feel them so deeply,
You do the same here, sliding down the sonic scale.

So they will last me,
Through-out the day... oh-ou-ow

A variable consistency is applied throughout, but I enjoyed the form well. The sentiment carries through wonderfully, and you close it skillfully. Salutations.

Bone-chilling write, Reindeer. Questions to which we always seem to return. Nothing besides death and taxes is certain in this world. Love certainly isn't, nor job security. Thank you for this write. It's beautiful!
