 In Remembrance of My Lost Angel, a lamentation for lost love and lost opportunities, was written in early 2016, although it was an updating of a similar lyric dating from 1999. London, ca. 1999 (Image).

I Have Let Love Pass Me By dates from early to mid 2018, having been based on a handful of lyrics I improvised to guitar when I was 18 as a lament for a lost love. Photo aged 18, by Peter Kingsford.

 But a Love Now Long Gone was written in late June 2017 as a translation of a song, originally penned in French around 2013, itself based on an earlier - autobiographical - song dating from when I was about 19.

Written in 2015... another breakup... I'd finally got over husband number 3 and was ready to love again, but shortly in he decided he was in love with someone else and dumped me. I was devastated again, but tried to hide my emotions and remain friends with him (which was essentially like selling my soul) ... we did get back together, but only so he could break my heart again 2 years later... 

This was written a long time ago when I was 17. I had married my first husband, which fyi was an arranged marriage. I wanted to marry another, but my mom had ran him off so I finally agreed to marry her choice. Well, as soon as I was married, the one I wanted started writing again. My then husband didn't approve and could be abusive at times, so I wrote this poem from the other guy's perspective. Of course, he didn't wait for me and married another... originally written in 1995
