Words are like feathers that drift at the slightest breeze yet actions are the foundation upon which great works --and great love-- is built. As a man (woman) does, so is he (she). So ask not for words, listen not to words, it is what they do that tell us who they are. Only time will reveal the meaning of the lady's words.

However, if the lady’s meaning is in line with your thoughts, I would think he will be better off without her.

Also, the lady in the poem never said she would walk alongside... she could be walking in an opposite direction. “I will walk” is an English expression equivalent to “I am outta there.” Also, the lady in the poem never said she would walk alongside… she could be walking in an opposite direction.

I write when the mode hits me. It may be because I am bored, but more likely it is because something has gotten stuck in my mind and I have to get it unstuck. To me writing a poem is sort of like solving a puzzle. A concept hits me and I have to see if I can put together something that rhymes, and yet makes some sort of sense. I must admit, I write for my own pleasure. I know my poems are not works of art, but I have had a great deal of fun putting them in written form. You might enjoy <a href="http://chiriquichatter.net/blog/2003/09/01/surprise-apricot-jam/" rel="nofollow">Surprise Apricot Jam</a>. My cousin’s wife sent me her recipe one day and for some reason, I felt the need to transmogrify the recipe into rhyme. Enjoy it for better or “verse”. Thanks for the comment.
