Hello Brenda,
The title "losing you now" could be about losing some through death, moving or simply just parting ways though it's a tough call really as it's so 'loosely' used and I say the term in a really good way as there's many interpretations for this depending on what the reader feels and probably the readers emotional state too.

You joke to me;
"Trade me in
for a newer model."
^
This is a heartwrenching beginning as trading anyone or anything in for a' newer model' could potentially be the death of them but it happens all too often, I know alot of people jest about this for they've grown old together and could not see a life without the other in it, which is such a beautiful sentiment and these people know that the other is joking but does it not feel a little bit like a kick in the gut? I think it would to me though I have to say I am a really sensitive soul.

I would sooner
rip out
my own heart
than to
lose you now...
^
I think this is what I was getting at in my ramblings of my comment on the grist stanza, it would hurt to lose that person when you've spent so long together, wouldn't it? I'm certain and 'losing them now' sjiutd to me that you've been together for quite some time and that neither of you are as young ad you use to be so it would be like 'having to start all over again.' Hopefully, that makes sense.

You are my lifeline
in this cruel world-
the balm
that healed
my broken soul-
a continual note
that plays
a tune
that only I can hear
^
I love this stanza. It shows just how much this person has done for you and how much they truly mean to you which is why it would be difficult to 'lose them now' or at all, heaven forbid hut unfortunately, such is life.

I truly began
to live-
to love-
when you came
into my life
So there will be no
"trading you in"
no losing you-
for losing you
would be the end
of me
^
Again, these last two stanzas show that this person (I assume your husband) means one hell of a lot to you. A remarkable piece.
Take care,
Much love,

A lovely tribute to who is obviously the love of your life.

All the very best as ever, Brenda

I could be that 'newer model', I have fewer miles on my shiny clock... but I know, I could never compete with your quality man. All the best to both of you! X

Dear Brenda,
I remember we talked about this a tiny bit when we were in the Bus station bathroom a few years back ( I miss you) and you and I both have been blessed to find our true love's - My love says this to me as well and I would never trade in the other half of me... love you! This is beautiful <3

I love the sentiment and the flow of this poem. It’s so honest. Thank you!

When you have found true love you can never imagine a world without them. They are a part of everything even the breath you breath. A lovely tribute to the love of your life Milly x
