Poetry is obviously still one of 'your things' because this was quite amazing.
The last line left a lasting impression.
"To wait for dreams I wish I could keep."
I can't even explain to you how that line made me feel but it did evoke emotion as I read it.

Thank you so, so much. I feel like poetry is the only way I can actually convey emotions in my writing, I just seem to struggle with that in fiction but with poetry I feel like I can be honest. Thank you, again, for this lovely review.
