abusethis is beautiful.

it might be odd to ask a question in a review but- I'm wondering does the ending kind of imply the authors note already? where it is an external declaration willing it to happen rather than just being the excitement of it happening, kind of the quiet cry AH!almost! that seems to happen so often in life- or,
is the ending just the opening of the possibility of the beauty described in the rest of the poem?
it's good either way, I'm just wondering how you meant it.

abuse"following the sun/with the sun always on our faces"- i like these two lines, and the last verse very much. but then everything else seems normal in comparison except for your author's note which reeks of a revelation.

abusethe author's note kills me. but I understand that feeling and the regret that comes after it-- that idealistic, beautiful possibility and then the cold, empty reality that comes afterward. you really captured the beauty of the hope of a lasting relationship very well.

abusePretty poem. I love "two is the most beautiful number," and the last two lines are heartbreaking. Really gorgeous work. Nicely done. Keep writing! :)

abusethe author's note made me sad. the poem was so hopeful, the poem was so beautiful...and then it wasn't reality. fairytales can be sad sometimes. =[

only suggestion: maybe make the lines "with the sun always on our faces/two is the most beautiful number." their own stanza. it might be stronger that way.

but everything was great. such a cute story...haven't heard about lockets in awhile. i still have one though. lol

abuse"We could fall in love."

It completely prevents the poem from being sappy or cliché. In earlier stanzas, the reader can't really tell where the thoughts are going, but the last two lines add melancholy and poignancy. Beautiful.

abusethis is beautiful. i liked the imagery, it looks like it's heavily influenced by surreal paintings and dreams.

abusei think love is a rare moment you can only share with some people.

maybe it ends
most likely it ends
but maybe it wont.
