Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Yes, one thinks they have it all, and then, poof! It seems all is lost, but, altho the words seem like cold comfort now - time does heal... that I know.
I could feel the emotion in the words - loved the presentation, Mel.
Is it the rain[,]
That makes me miss you so? - no commas when "that" is used in this way making it a run-on sentence.

Hey there sweet Lady
First of all I love the artwork. It sets the mood for your tremendous poem. You are becoming (in my estimation) the queen of romance poetry here in FS.
I this this is truly a 6 star piece

Is it the cold?
Is it the rain,
That makes me miss you so? (This is a very good way to begin. Hypotheticals are a powerful device. You could bolster it removing the question mark on line 1 and commencing the second with or. That creates a double-edged question running in one smooth sentence.
You vanished from my life
Without a backward glance.
I'm left with only
Memories of us.
Long walks
Cuddle time
Deep conversation
And
Marathon love-making!
What do I do now?
Forget you?
Move on?
Only time will reveal this answer. (There is something weak about this ending. Maybe the cliche. No, the last two words. See how you've asked three questions in the previous stanza. That implies there are several answers. So simply change it to: Only time will reveal the answers.)
Is it the cold

Overall a sweet poem of rejection. The use of the questions and the tightness of your lines are the poem's best technical features.
Another good one, Missy.

Missy, I always feel so sad when I read one of your "love lost" poems. Then I have to remind myself that it's the poetic persona Missy is writing about. Isn't it? Is this autobiographical? C'mon, Missy.

Hi there,
Some fundamental questions asked in this question that most of us have asked at some time or another, although probably not quite so poetically as this. Nostalgic and wistful and remorseful.

Beautiful artwork to compliment this piece. The heartache and anguish comes through clearly in this one. It's so hard to move on when someone has left us and broken our hearts.

Hi Missy, you're welcome. I didn't know we had to start over either. I joined last December, so member for a year now. I just got a ranking for poetry, but it drops every day. Now, working on the novelist rank.

Poof? After marathon love making? Oh No! Seriously, your poem is well written and sensuous, well worth reading. The picture is a nice compliment to the work. Evi

G'day Missy. It's been so long since I've had the pleasure to read you lovely work mate. I've had little or no internet here for about six months and I've missed you.
This is another beauty my friend. So sad and lonely when it i read. I could feel the confuion and longing in each word. Wish I had a six left for you. Fantastic work.
Happy new year, please stay safe and well.
Cheers Fez
