Irredeemed



Relationships are hard - take Rodney Dangerfield's, for example.

Does hyphenating the noun from what it purports to possess separate them in an irredeemable way? Or, is it that by adding take have I made it less than grammatical?


I have lost a few friends in the last few years, by never writing; by never writing them. I can feel it in the thoughts and memories of some of the people that used to write me. I can feel it in the distance from recollections. 


I remember one girl. I used to write her notes, stories. I would sign them ever cutely:


lv,
sn


Her name was Jenn. One day I walked by her computer and the email she was writing, to the guy she was fucking, was signed:


lv,
