    I have only recently started writing poetry and have used AC as a way to express myself in that way, even though my smart alec side has always been able to throw out many a limerick over the years.

Yours is simple and to the point, with no room for the "distant one" to say he doesn't get it. Keep writing, sister!

    You have really captured a powerful feeling in so few words. I have been there!

    Good job! I admire haiku writers that can put so much into so little - like this one. :D

    I experienced this a long time ago. It's not a very nice feeling, is it? I hope your "distant" friend comes back to the neighborhood real soon. Love is a round-trip ticket, hang in there. Cheers.
