It used to be that he spent every possible moment connected to her in even the slightest way.

Wow…who knew? Such a romantic…. So well written! Real saddness that last line.
You know what, someone else said that about me a very long time ago. Although she meant the inspired-by-nature kind of romantic. But true perhaps on both counts. I hide it well. 😉
Real sadness in the last line? Yeah! Hot damn! 🙂
Beautiful and sad.

You are a master of words of passion. This is beautiful, with a yearning and sadness.
Val, thank you so much. Truly. I honestly didn’t know that about myself, but I find these things coming more and more often from my brain. Maybe I have some fiction in my after all.
I seem to remember a love like that a thousand years ago! Now gone too with the winds of time. What a great read this was.
