Exponential Growth

One, day not so long ago...

they grew too distant.

Then there were three.

Forever they were changed.

I like the growth theme. Realizing that we will survive after things do work the way we dreamed they would is important to the healing process. Your poem is short, but i read it at least 14 times trying to figure out the meaning of "three". Did you mean that this was your 3rd such loss? Or are there 3 of something else, like 3 people involved? Good work.

This is a familiar feeling :) The great thing is, that you show the growth in the poem, even though using very few words. Very gracefully, I might add. Not regretful, but showing that you have moved on, and taken something positive with you from that experience. I think that is something everyone can learn from.
