This is gorgeously gorgeously rendered! I especially resonate with; “We both had difficulty leaving/And clung to each other, what was the harm?” So often it is that one doesn’t realize when the relationship becomes too much to bear.. 💝💝
Thank you so much Sanaa. ☺️❤️ You are correct about that feeling. It works well on the first few dates when things feel right but the familiarity of the feeling can misguide us later on in the relationship. Familiarity breeds contempt (😳😦)
Fantastic acrostic plus!
I am particularly smitten with this line “I cannot even remember what I ate”. There is an absence in that line (can’t remember) but the line is also absolutely pregnant with meaning!
And then you end with fairy dust and fantasia….wow! You are an enigma…..the sense of what happens here within the poem! So glad you posted to the prompt!
Oh Lillian you are so kind to me. I was thinking as you did about how we concentrate so hard on different forms of poetry that we sometimes lose the beautiful language of the poem. I was nervous about this one so I am thrilled that you think it worked! Thank you! ☺️❤️🌺
Yes Bev. I can relate. The opinionated, arrogant man I described, could definitely charm and be so sweet, yet the opinions and arrogance never went away. First impressions should never be ignored 😧
Wonderful poem, Christine. I had never seen one with the ending letters. We all hope for magical moments like you described. And yes, I like the old rom-com movies with Tom Hanks and/or Meg Ryan.
Thank you! I appreciate it ☺️💕
Perfect!
Thank you! I appreciate it ☺️💕

Romantic relationships can be enigmatic and complicated…caution advised. Great acrostic plus, Christine!
Thank you so much Lynn. Yes you are absolutely correct! ☺️💕🌺
Quite romantic! 😀
Thank you Sunra ☺️
Love the message and theme. Hope the fantastic beginning result to the good ending.
Thank you Grace. ☺️💕
Such enigma, I hope there is something as good inside as the outside promises.
Personally I have learned to go with first impressions. That gut instinct rarely lets you down. ☺️😳
I once met a charming enigma. It took me a year to realize there was nothing behind the facade!
Yes Bev. I can relate. The opinionated, arrogant man I described, could definitely charm and be so sweet, yet the opinions and arrogance never went away. First impressions should never be ignored 😧
Enigmas are fascinating to contemplate … love this.
Thanks Helen. Some people really are an enigma ☺️
Oh the tale spells out the enigmatic so well. Awesome work, CB.
Thanks Ron. As Lillian said when you take on a challenge like this the poetry may suffer just a bit 🤣 I think she was right when I read mine back. Lol
Wonderful poem, Christine. I had never seen one with the ending letters. We all hope for magical moments like you described. And yes, I like the old rom-com movies with Tom Hanks and/or Meg Ryan.
Thank you Regina. Yes I always enjoy those movies too. Lighthearted rom-coms ☺️❤️
Aww, this is adorable. I’ve certainly had some of these moments myself, even in friendships. 😀
Thanks so much Lucy. It happens ☺️💕
Wonderful! I love it 🙂
