I like this a lot. I love when poems tell stories.

This is absolutely gorgeous! This is your first poem? I'm impressed.
I usually don't care for free form poetry, but this was amazing. I might have to spend some time analyzing it later to figure out why. I loved your combinations of long and short lines, and I felt like it flowed together really smoothly. You managed to convey the emotions of loss and sorrow so beautifully, and the nostalgia mixed in was truly lovely. Excellent work!

Beautiful and just amazing. I can relate to this so much. Thank you for these words so wonderfully strung.

This just fits so well. The structure and flow is nice and clean along with progression of the story.

I was thinking at first, "oh, it's losing a friend." Well it wasn't losing a friend in the way I thought of it.

This hit me hard, not just emotionally, but also in a connection. I've lost a friend from suicide and ever since then, I've been different and just wondering "what we didn't have" after.

Great poem and thank you for giving me a connection, a way to have my thoughts and feelings expressed even when this is in your words and I'm just reading it.
