    I loved this, you have a real talent for capturing imagery, and that's what I loved so much about this one.
    I was thrown a little at the end as the last stanza was longer than the others, but apart from that, this was beautiful.

    Hmmm... This one had me confused. Is it an internet relationship, or is she away, or is she dead... lol sorry. Maybe it's just because it's late and I've been here for hours. lmao. Good job all the same

    Ciao~

    The longer last stanza throws you off balance a bit - you're not quite sure how you're supposed to read it. I still really like the idea of this though, you put into words what everyone feels when their with the one they love. Great work. 4/5 but only because i got confused on the last stanza.

    Hmm is it meet or met in the last line cos that gives a whole new meaning to the poem iif its meet then its like a relationship that was built through communication like letters and email etc.

    excellent structure tho

    loved it

    I honestly don't understand this rating I guess because you have so many votes it has become lower. To me this deserves a 5/5 simply for the way you have made this poem express your feelings. I'm sure amny people can relate to this poem I know I can and it has been a pleasure to read your poetry as your love poems hold such much warmth. A delicate poem. I can't say much more except well done. keep on writing so that I can keep on reading amazing poetry. ~Mel

    "You are the light
    That shines down on me
    When I am sad
    And when I'm not" ~wonderful line, in my own opinion. I love it =]
    Beautiful metaphor.

    The thing I find in the poems that I have commented is that your poems are a bit choppy. I wish that they had more of a flow, that they seemed to just slip off of the tongue like water. Your poems are good, and the idea's good, but they way you present them seems to be a bit amaturish, not to be rude though, for I know you must put thought into them.

    This poem was very choppy. I did try to enjoy it though, and I did.
    It is a cute poem, and I love the little 'last-verser' you put in the end stating that this love is one person who is not in your present, but will be in your future. I love how it is only a hope and not an actuality.

    Great job on this poem, but a little choppy.
    I think it's a four.oh

    Nice job,

    5/5

    Oh, this was very creative, for its short length.
    I suggest for this line
    "Your Radiant smile"
    to make the "r" in "Radiant" lowercase.
    I dont know why.. lol

    I also suggest adding punctuation. It bugs me when people don't put it on there, but for some its not a problem.

    I hope you two will meet soon! Sounds amazing. XD

    The ending was completely unexpected. I really enjoyed that part. When I was reading it, it seemed as if the person in this poem was talking about someone that they had loved and lost not someone that they were waiting to meet. Well done I've never read a poem like that before very original and I really liked it.

    I see your point about the filler words...simple is best. I love this one as well!

    I really enjoy this. I read it first as though they passed away, but then I realized it was "day we meet" not meet again. It has a smooth rhythm and is simple, but sweet and not childish.

    A few minor things:

    I wish it was* real
    The photo of you
    I wish you where* near
    So I could touch your soft skin

    'was' should technically be 'were', for grammatical purposes.
    Was is past tense, which would mean " I wish this photo used to be real, but now it is real", whereas I think you mean "I wish that this photo would be real (now)"

    Similarly, 'where' should be 'were'. Where is the location, were is the subjunctive of be (see above).
