  Wow, this poem is absolutely beautiful and so full of hope and love! The way the writer expresses their desire to reconnect with someone and their willingness to respect their boundaries is incredibly touching. The use of powerful imagery, like the waves of yesterday, and the idea of rejuvenating and embracing the present, is really skillful and moving. It's clear that the writer deeply cares for this person and wants to see them thrive and find happiness, even if it means letting go of the past. I love the positive and hopeful tone of this poem – it's such a celebration of the power of love and the possibilities that the future holds. This is definitely a poem that leaves me feeling inspired and uplifted! more »

  Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! I can feel the emotion pouring out of each line and it's so inspiring to read. The way the words flow together creates a sense of hope and positivity that's truly infectious. I love the message of holding space for someone to open up and share their feelings, even if it's hard or uncomfortable at first. The idea of disconnecting from past pain and embracing the present is so powerful and it's clear that the author truly believes in the healing power of vulnerability and love. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece! more »

  Great work. I love this poem It is so hard when a relationship ends without explanation or closure. You are/were deserving of a better farewell. It is so sad when someone will not communicate with us and make us feel like the relationship did not matter. I hope you have found healing. more »

    Thank you, Kaytee, for your comment and for taking the time to read my poem. The relationship happened more than 2 decades ago, and although it left a hole in my heart and continues to do so, I have already been healed and also forgiven him. I’ve been blessed with an incredible man, who not only helped me heal, but also accepted me for who I am/was. I still hope though to have a better goodbye, maybe in the future. more »

    I’m so glad you found healing and someone that loves you for you. You inspired me to google an old flame I owe an apology to. It’s never too late right? I hope you do get your proper goodbye one day.

    It’s never too late to make amends. Just try to do it. If he denies it, at least you did your part lol.

  Disentangle from yesterday’s waves.
  Love wants the other to EXHALE.
  Get a new ground zero. On you tube look up the Artist Plumb, and her song Exhale.

    I really like the song you just shared. Yes, it’s okay to not be okay. Don’t be afraid, don’t be ashamed. Let it go, let His love wrap around you. So powerful, indeed. Thank you, Wayne.
