the ending is absolutely perfect. "i want you to wait for me to catch up" - it's one of those lines that float around and find their way onto a billion different things. (books, profiles, etc.) it really catches someone.

Poems are very good ways of expressing emotions and getting rid of nagging fears. If you want my honest opinion, this isn't much of a poem (sorry!) but if it's made you feel better, then I take it to have fullfilled its ultimate purpose. One thing, though, that you could alter easily (if you did so wish) would be to get rid of that jarring repetition-

'You're moving away and I'm standing still

It's strange to stand still'

To hear the same words in such crazily close proximity is as unsettling in the ear of a reader as an off-key chord. Definatly something to avoid.

Interesting poem, it's very well written.
