At home in Thailand we do something similar. At home, we make rice and top it with whatever we didn't finish from the last meal.

I finally decided to use June 2022's entries for my responses to other bloggers' entries. I tend to do this daily anyways and post in my weekly 'catch-all' blog (added to every day} "Porthole.

"People just don’t want to fall in love with a person they know they’ll outlive." It stings.

This is the story prompt for "Write From the Heart - Story Contest I should write something for the contest. Until then:

I do think this also applies to many relationships, including pets. It also echos how nomads/refugees/students feel about a place they must leave.

And the reverse... as one ages it's hard to fall for someone/something/someplace when you know you'll die soon.

So... yeah... it's one reason why I gave up fighting to maintain an intimate relationship with Pan. The age gap was too much. May to September is awkward, May to December a tad ridiculous. Still, it had it's good points. We both needed stability. I learned a lot; hopefully, he did too. We keep in touch; that door's not locked.

I also needed to learn to let go. I struggle with letting go.

In the past I could sing "You can't hurry love" I waited and waited...

And "love don't come easy"... been there too.

"It's a game of give and take" which is what Pan and I worked on. The language and cultural barriers didn't help.

Moving forward: "Love Knows Not Time" would be a good title for a new poem, story, collection.

I need to keep my options open until the lid of the coffin closes.

An old bluesy poem that's appropriate:

 The wages of dying is love  (13+)
A blues about the price of love (however defined or denied).
