A feeling, like airports
and early morning rain,
and other in-between things,
you know, those things that aren't really there,
they're just in-between,
like the New England coast
to my friends in Germany.
Thats what it feels like, here,
waiting for you.

Empty school hallways, the space between us and the clouds, sad, sad doorways. That sort of thing.

Hm. Thank you. That is a very good point- as it really only needs to be said once. I appreciate your feedback, and it's so good to know you liked it!

I liked it! You got your point across very well, which is hard to do in a short poem (for me anyway).  I liked the way you compared your feelings to situations, to make it more vivid and real. The only thing I didn't like was the reptition of "in-between", it seemed kind of redundant. Other than that, good job!
