Seems to be
When it`s clear
We were never meant
To be

I was groovin/'/ to the final two lines....such beauty and observation, then a nihilistic end..... I would like to see this end altered to reflect and maintain the content, mood and ambiance/'/ of the body. (just my unsolicited and irrelevant opinion, James.).

Overall, I like the piece.

This is unfortunately sad, but bittersweet in its sadness. It/'/s like a child/'/s dreams of fantasy, raining snow from a cloudless sky, icebergs floating in the tropical seas, sinking airplanes as they emerge from the depths of waters below, winged sharks flying up in the sky, and everyone walking on and building homes on water, and fearing incapability of swimming on land... All belonging to the same realm of fantasy as the beliefs we hold, or rather the hopes and faith that we keep to our heart.

But I say this James, if this truly is the feeling that we end up having when we depart from another, it/'/s important we know, that as long as we maintained that fantasy, we were in touch with our inner child and maintained it for that length of time. In the end, isn/'/t that what/'/s most beautiful of all? :)

//I`m avoiding my, hey we`re really all from Mars speech. But there is a high possibility "we were never meant to be" here, on the third rock from the sun.

Definitely you have given us food for thought and I freaking forgot what I was gonna say after that. D`OH!. It might be because I was thinking while I typed I might fix the apostrophe thingy in this one because there`s only one.

Time iiiii iii ime ain`t on my side, no it ain`t. hee hee

Thank you,

P.S. I remembered what I wanted to type but it`s just more crazy talk....or is it? 🤷
