I really enjoyed reading this, it describes the emotions of unrequited love perfectly. Reading this poem takes me back to memories of the same feeling. I loved it!

Alright, so in your opinion what makes this a bad poem? Using circular reasoning (aka- it is bad, because it is bad) is very remedial. If you don't like it then have reasons to back it up. Sure it was a bit cliche, but it was fun to read and fairly well written.

I love the poem and I think anyone who can't see the pure beauty of this poem, should not be on this website. It's simply wonderful and deep. Very deep, and reminds me of only three months ago. Please keep writing.

Simply beautiful- all there is for it. Also, absolutely true- love sucks when the other person doesn't love you back. If you don't have time I completely understand, but do you think that maybe you could check out my poem Sowing Poppies? Anyone?

I think the beauty of this, is the words managed to claw in to my soul, and take me back to the time when i felt this way. That's true poetry right there. Kudos

Very nice piece...short, but sweet. thats what i like. i love how you interlace the abstract object of love into real world objects, like the sun, the sky, and the breeze. you portray very clearly that how love, true love, can never be affected.

Short and sweet, very wonderful. The trick with short poetry is getting the point across clearly and still adding a touch of style. Here, you manage to balance the writing perfectly. It is great!
