    It's so hard to admit to a former love or even yourself that you have moved on. No matter what happened to end that previous relationship your write says you in your heart hasn't ended this. A lot of inner struggle. Well done-

    This is a uniquely structured poem and one that is a joy to view and read, if only from a personal point-of-view, perhaps. The subject isn't happy, after all!

    I love him more now,
    but I loved you more than I'll ever love.
    ^^

    This got off to a fairly miserable start! Coupled with the title, I can almost imagine you sitting there - 'reflecting' - pen in hand as you acknowledge that you are in love again and that love is growing, but it won't ever compare to the love you felt. I particularly love the abrupt end of those two lines. Not '..more than I'll ever love anyone' but 'more than I'll ever love'. That's just so much more all-encompassing and final.

    But then 'I take it back'. The main body of this seems to be about your own inability to deal with your true emotions; they are just too much to bear and acknowledge - even to yourself. They shred your heart and make your chest ache.

    And then the heart-breaking last two lines. To me, and I may have it all round my neck, this whole poem seems to go through a thought process of admittance and denial, finally ending in you almost giving up on fighting it any longer. 'I will always love you most. Always.'

    My interpretation may be wrong, but I entertained myself and enjoyed this write!

    A sincere and honest write about knowing you have fallen in love again but that your first love is the strongest, always. My thoughts anyway.

      Your intuition is incredible. Yes, it is about Milo (and Beau).

    I can really relate to the feeling.
    I love and adore my Donuts and my Cartier,

    but I had a dog named Pototi who was half stray/half chow chow... I had for about 7 years, and one day I woke up and found her dead.

    i never loved any pet like I loved her.
    I also had a cat named Banshee once, my cousin broke her neck in a door the same day i got her, but i healed her with my own hands..and she grew so beautifully, and I think it had so much to do with how much time i put into healing her when no one thought she would live. but she did. she had a homemade neckbrace..lol.. i had to feed her with one of those thingies that u put vaccines in, i took such care of her..
    and then i found her dead outside too..
    and i got other cats, but it was never the same.

    ..I think we all have one pet that will always have our heart, and everything else is just to fill to void.

    ..sending you big hugs.

    on an other note ; I love that the poem is so open to interpretation, it could be out to be, whatever the reader wants it to be. that's always so beautiful.

    I was going to break this down, but i'll leave it where it is. Amazingly well written and applicable to many interpretations, I really love the openness of it. great write!
