"... Taking hands
we walked apart, until our arms stretched
between us. We held on tight, and let go."
This poem was a bit depressing. It was about a couple whose marriage fell apart and they got a divorce. But even though they separated, it seems as though they still love each other. The tone seems to be regretful because the speaker looks back on the failed relationship with different feelings than when the couple split up. The people still love each other, but neither of them felt like they could stay in the relationship. Each of them still think about the other and they write each other letters every year. The speaker will never fully get over her ex-lover because they had a really strong connection even though their relationship did not work out.
