Dedicated to everyone whose heart and head are haunted with memories of an ‘old love’. Some emotions run too deep to let go, but ‘if only’ is a torture no one deserves. Treasure the happiness you had, for it was special, and many people spend their entire lives never knowing the feeling of true love. There are many reasons outside of your control as to why it was only meant to be a series of precious moments in time…
Thank you to my rock, Lawrence; Noemie (a kindred soul) for kind words at the precise moment I needed them; and my late mother, Lillian, whose influence is still so very strong.
