Thoughts many will have in any relationship. A desire of companionship, then on love, giving and receiving intimate encounters makes many subservient to the others wishes. Time will dictate what will happen.

The poem is so romantic that it reminds of my crush before. The poem suggests some feelings that a lover might have on his/her crush. Lastly, love poems might sound too juvenile, but the expressions and literary devices that you utilized in the poem makes the love in the poem look sophisticated.

Two words is all I need for this review. TELL HIM.
Really, this is a gorgeous write, straight from the heart. But he needs to know how you feel. And the only way that can happen is, TELL HIM. Be brave. Be honest. And who knows what comes next.

Thank you very much for reading. I apologize for not responding sooner. I could post, but not reply to reviews while I was in the hospital. Turns out there are downsides to only having a phone.
Comment from Y. M. Roger
Such a lovely free verse exploring that bridge from unloved to loved and loving... powerfully stated with the admission that you'd rather stay even in the pain rather than go back to 'nothing'... well done. Thanx for sharing! :-)

A great work, in fact from my perspective love sees things clearly, if one calls cynicism or a negative thought toward others, it gains nothing by thinking badly of others, it only adds to the process, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Well done.
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Wow, your poem is truly beautiful! I love how you capture the struggle of expressing deep emotions. The word choics such as "blue-sky eyes" and "shadows of both my and your abyss" are perfect. This flows so perfectly. Keep up the fantastic work!
