    Your poem is really good... It has a lot of emotion in it and it is actually very nicely written...

    Yet I do have a couple of little remarks:

    On the first stanza, I think you mean "those" instead of "thoughs"...

    You have a couple spelling mistakes on the third stanza...

    The expression "bffls" is slang... Slang doesn't fit very well in poetry...(only my opinion...)

    on the seventh stanza the flow is a little bit off because you aren't dividing the sentences very well... It sounds a bit odd... (try and read it out loud and you'll know what I mean)

    on the last stanza I think you mean "were" and not "where"... (the expressions are similar, but they have a completely different meaning)

    altogether: I really like your poem, yet I think you could emprove your language... I don't want to sound harsh (I understand it, I am not an english native speaker... I'm portuguese... :) ) but the fact your grammar is a little bit off can distract the reader from the actual meaning of the poem, which is really sad, because it is wonderful...

    *keep going*

    I'd be lying if I said I didn't understand where you were coming from. I'm sure a lot of people do. I just recently found out a friend of mine passed away, but at least he's in a better place now. Your poem here touched me and reminded me of the good times we had. He is and always will be one of my greatest friends. 5/5
