The thing about long poems is they tend to string out and get really boring to the reader. Most of the time I think my weakest point is trying to mend everything together in a short excerpt so I can really hit the reader hard in the feelings by the concluding details. This is obviously a "love" poem. Originally I intended on including imagery that would literally place the boy and girl in the reader's minds, but I found the poem drifting away from that concept and completely entailing a new story by the end of it. I would say I focused my attention on more of the development of the relationship than the actual boy & girl themselves and in their own beings. I love this poem, I think- but it's really hard to love it when people don't want to take the time to read the entire thing because then it's just the typical silent love and what not. I'm not sure where I had gotten my inspiration to write this one; All I remember is reading it to my cousin at a coffee shop and him telling me that he was close to crying and I knew it had really hit him. I think in this poem- I was able to show the elements of true love and that makes me really happy due to the fact that I felt the endearing words and the heartfelt endeavors I wrote about. I hope it really hits other people and I think it'll be beautiful when you are able to decipher other peoples' / writers' denotation of love.
