I like this so much Ruth because of the effect of the last line of your poem.
I think the Gotcha effect works so well I am hoping you put some more poems on because all of your writing is so good.

Ha ha Thank you for reading Nigel - Glad you enjoyed it. I just liked the idea of having a punch line to suprise at the end - the 'Gotcha' effect 😁 x

Love this so much Ruth at first you are thinking of a lost lover someone that meant so much to you.
Perhaps something or someone has reminded you of this lost romantic love affair.
This last line is the part I love - - - only because I still think you have covered up the real meaning of your poem.
Now you can snuggle up tight x
