Hullo Pupa ...
What an interesting and original theme you have in this
writing and, how very right you are in saying that it is essential to be able to like a person before considering love.
When we are told that we should try to love everybody -
the response is usually that to love them, with true Christian charity, is easier than to like them because of their behaviour.
I enjoyed reading this and thank you for sharing it with us.
With love from ..... Nanette Mary.

Comment from nora arjuna
Hi Pupa. In my personal experience, I had never fallen in love without liking, can you? I've heard about such cases though. I think this could be more of a physical attraction, sexual desire, or the need to possess.
In my cases, I met a number of people I liked, but didn't fall in love. It's a problem too, cause I hurt them.
Thanks for sharing this thoughts.

Thanks Jer for your compliment, very sweet of you. Even if I don't find the right person anymore, I am starting to find peace within me, which I have been searching for all my life, so I'm Ok.
Thanks again for a lovely review.

Comment from rhymer1
I do not understand why you did not post this as prose. It has no poetic aspects whatsoever: visuals, alliteration, poetic flow, rhyme, meter, metaphor, simile or otherwise. Thus, I review it as prose because it is excellent, but as poetry it is a 1*.
Excellent prose with good flow of narrative, and a mature comparison of friendship ( I would have preferred companionship) and love (I would have preferred romantic love which I believe you really meant). Slainte, rhymer1

I do appreciate very much your review and rating. Do you mean prose under short story or essay? Yes, you are right, it was a mistake.
Thanks again.

I believe all essays, short stories and this type of letter get posted in the short story catagory. Write Tom a note and he will respond with the site policy. Slainte, rhymer1

I thought about doing something like this. And there's a reason why I didn't. It doesnt seem to work. It's a good letter. DOGZ

DOGZ, thanks for the review. I did'nt get exactly what you meant buy "it didn't work"? mine or yours? Is this the reason for your 4stars?
Thanks again for your time.

Comment from star10
The person in this poem seems to be struggling with relationship issues, fear of feeling self failure due to a decision to have faith in the power of love. Love grows, and people change both the lover and the one being loved. I enjoyed this poem, I found it very thought provoking indeed. It appears to be a love letter. No spag's

I am not struggling any more, I have my peace of mind at the moment, thank God. Maybe this is why I can see clearer now.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this kind review.

Comment from Mike K2
I found this not only to be very well written, but very touching and filled with meaning. I mentioned in a prior review, "A firm foundation, not blind faith," and it carries to this too. Your last line, " For all those reasons, I beg you to be there, if and when I fall in love again.," is also very poignant and follows my statement. I may use one of GRAYs photos but have to think about it, as I find it inspiring for a write.

When we fall in love, it is difficult to think about it this way. Maybe I am getting wiser because I am out of love.LoL
Thanks for a lovely review and sharing with your thoughts is most appreciated.

There are few people here like you state. In my opinion, you got your head on and allowed for a natural love. It shows in the writteng.
