i like it. it rings true in your first two lines and i love the ending you made. it's optimistic, but not for selfish reasons.

This must have hit you very hard. I felt this way when I lost a former teacher who meant the world to me. Excellent poetry. -HgBookworm

I really like this one, it sums up basically all I was going thru when my friend died... I like the way you write the way people feel and think in different situations.

Nice opening, I really like this. Somehow it seems really optimistic even though it's about a rough subject. good job!
