    This is strange but beautiful.

    You have such an eloquent way of writing! In that first stanza, I love the placing of your words, how you seemed to save space and choose them with care to express the depth of this person's soul and what lies within, brightness, memories, and so much more. I admire how in a few words you could convey a lot between the words, in a way that's uniquely structured as well...this person's soul will remain pure and unchanged, still as vivid and lovely as the beginning.

    I really like the word "entangled" in this and the grace in which you write that these melodies you will never not be a part of or forget about. I also was thinking at the end you made this love poem based on a xylophone, then named the girl Xelina off of that! So creative!

    Beautiful brevity :]
