This short poem holds priceless advice... Love it. And I'm very happy for you, it's only after you've found someone like that that you realise how life should actually be.Β

So true in thought. The way you describe the scene in such a short way that leaves the reader wondering and thinking is mesmerizing. Keep up the great work!

Sometimes it's best just to let go.
I like the simplicity of this

This actually makes me happy. Sure, he doesn't love her, but now she can move on.

Of course he loves her. If a man is close to a woman is obviousΒ he is there because he wants to be, but needy demands of affection are a turn off, so he thinks sheΒ΄s immature, and thatΒ΄s too much to handle so he keeps quiet.

Funny, my brother is currently cheating on his girlfriend but insisting to her that their relationship is fine and making her feel like a crazy person for suspecting. If you loved someone, a real man wouldnt call a brief moment of insecurity a turn off, you'd reassure them and get back to what's important. Perhaps you need to look at your own relationships and how you handle them.

So, you know he's cheating but you say nothing to that poor girl?

She knows, she's the one who told me. She saw his texts to his ex but he's trying to convince her its for other reasons. She's not the brightest person but she doesn't deserve to be lied to to her face. But thanks for assuming?

I'm sorry, but your brother is cheating on his girlfriend and you don't tell her? Do you enjoy seeing her hurt or something?Β

She's the one who told me that she read texts to his ex but he's trying (and managing somehow) to convince her that they mean something else. Doesn't matter that I've told her that he's cheated on his past girlfriends or that she can do a lot better, he's very convincing. She may not be the brightest person ever but he's still an asshole for it. Also you can apologize for that shitball assumption anytime.

Not apologizing for anything, but thanks for assuming that I would.

Says more about you than it does me, so you're welcome for the reality check.

Having a false sense of entitlement makes it so people don't want to apologize to you. The point of an apology is that the person feels bad enough to WANT to apologize. But your arrogance and entitlement has negated any apology you might ever get from someone. Grow up.

A real man can answer a simple question. It's not immature to talk about your feelings or to wonder if your pain has meaning. The man doesn't love her and if a man can't be bothered to treat her with dignity and answer her question, there's no man to speak of in the relationship.

A regular man can haveΒ deep feelings and no need to publish them on a billboard or create a big drama circus out of it.

The question she asked only needed a one-word answer.

If answering a question is a circus for you, then you must be very lonely or afraid to express yourself.

I was just interpreting the situation: maybe the guy was thinking "You know i love you, silly, iΒ΄m right here".
So, as any experienced man, heΒ΄ll do what husbands do, let her play in the garden while heΒ΄s going to buy her chocolate

No one asked him to make a circus or publish them to a billboard. His woman asked if he loved her. He said nothing. So she realised he didn't.
Words left unsaid leave a deep gaping hole in your heart. That is why so many inspirational quotes are about seizing the moment, and telling people they love that they care for them.

I would rather hear someone tell me they love me after they fully contemplate our relationship and who we are as people than immediately stating a strong feeling that they have never questioned or thought about.
Sometimes answering important questions require thoughtful insight, not impulsive answers to quickly tell someone what they want to hear.Β
We all want to hear that we are loved because it makes us feel better and secure in our relationships, but we should always question love and think about all the mix of emotions that make up love. It isn't something that can be answered in .3 seconds.

If in two years you cannot tell your girlfriend that you love her. Thats messing her about a little, don't you think? Especially if you know that she loves you. Basically, the gist of this poem is, in two years of loving and being with a person, if they cannot say it back, it is time to close that chapter and move on.

Correct, but the poem neither states how long it has been or any other type of time frame. It just shows a question not being answered. "My cat hasn't moved from the couch. So I left him there." Without a time frame the cat could be taking a nap or the cat could be dead and the person refuses to move the body. On one hand you have a simple explanation, on the other hand you have a more psychological/emotional back story that needs to be addressed. The poem is up for interpretation as to whether the woman is being childish and wanting an answer immediately for a complex question. Or the woman *has* been waiting ages for an answer to this question which she has asked *repeatedly* for a long time and never gotten an answer. Without knowing a time frame many points of view can be taken from such a simple poem.

Its called 'Two Years Later'. I think two years would be the time frame.

I followed my post up with what had been cut off. Time frame in regards to my follow up post of before/during/or after said question.
π: 0 β©: 1
The issue is, then the previous post about time frame makes no sense, because in the cut off bit, you are clearly aware of one.

Agreed there is an indication, however like I stated multiple times in fact. The time frame - outside the realm of your knowledge - and into that of a person who is just reading this. Can see the time frame as either before the question or after. "It has been two years since she left" or "she left because it had been two years". I don't really know how else to make my point clear. :\ And, by the way, I haven't at all discounted the way in which you wrote it at all. How you wrote it is how you wanted to write it. However how people will read it is not up to you. That I guess is my point. I see how you have written it, you've explained it, *but* aside from your own view - there can be several different ones.Β
Victors point had me laughing a bit, superficially that is how I would see poem. Really? Leaving because an answer wasn't given immediately? But re-reading it and thinking about it you can come to several conclusions. And we come full circle.

Victor has been a friend to me and my work for a while. I think that is why we can banter and his words cannot and will not ever offend me. His heart is true, and even friends disagree.Β
Also, other than Victor (Sorry to drag you into this, mate. 
Perhaps you are looking too deeply at something, and thus not wanting to consider the true meaning behind this poem is as simple as "Don't stay in a state of limbo forever. Move on." You are ofcourse entitled to your interpretation, but as the author, my intentions were very simple. There is nothing confusing about this poem. Anything simpler than this would read as far far too simple.
π: 0 β©: 1
I honestly don't think it could get much simpler than how it is. It did paint a beautiful picture in my head. I wouldn't say that I am not considering the true meaning, but perhaps I am considering it and a bit more.
Also - total side note: are you adverse to people turning your work into paintings/drawings. *random I know*
