    Since strung from an image, we get emotions that matter to format the poem, not just presented

    From this vision, it seems that when you love someone so much it structures a naturalness to keep repeating it again, which isn't bad. Except for when it's over, but you've still the habit that there should be nothing wrong with friendship. Just as the hobby of casting rocks into a river, there's a thrill of 'how far is it going to go this time' - even if it doesn't surpass previous distances. Likewise, you keep wanting to try conversation again, even if you forgot it's gone too long and the other person is seeming to pull away in evidence.

    You paint your words in the way you felt subtly hurt, yet still have memory, well done,
    Daisy

    it occurs to me that a poem is as much about what is not said as what is said. Like negative space in a sculpture. This poem is a fine example of that principle. Very stark but loaded with implications.

    the simplicity in this makes it stronger. i catch myself doing that sometimes too. i love the last line "just because".

    and i love how the title is part of the poem in a sense. awesomeee.

    it's all those just becauses that get me...
    i think i am alone in things, yet you write something like this that allows me to know that maybe just maybe im not as weird as i thought. there is a sadness to it, but at the same time it seems to bring a comfort that i almost wish it wouldn't... like a soft addiction that can really do no harm. how bad is it to say his name? to think it and then whisper it into my pillow wishing it was his ear... sigh. now im going to be catching myself doing this more i bet. you know, the things we do that we dont realize until someone else brings it to the forefront...

    i loved this... maybe for no other reason than just because.

    Sometimes to do things, just because, feels good, doesn't it?
    I liked this, kinda a lonely feel to it, but still lovely.

  • You never know what the ripple effect will stir up

  • oh my goodness!!! other people do that too????

    i always seem to follow it up with "my god, i'm so sorry".

    the title is perfect. i love how you fit so much emotion into only a few lines. you never cease to amaze me xx

  • so simple and so amazing! I can completely relate to this.
