There is such a tangible, nostalgic atmosphere here and it's very vivid to the reader. You make this piece your own and truly write of this love with an ache deep inside your soul...the emotions are real and I can feel your frustration, anger, the times you want to scream, as well as the moments where miss them, picturing them beside you. it also has me wondering about this person's death, it seems like it was very sudden and I can't imagine how hard that would be to wake up one day and have that love gone. I'm very sorry for your loss. But I love and completely agree with what you wrote in your author's note.... we do have to move on with live but we can still love them more and more each day, thinking and remembering the times shared/learned with them.

Honestly, and this is just a suggestion, you don't have to take it, the poem itself was a bit hard to follow at times naturally because there was barely any punctuation. I like how you spaced it out between each line, and I'm not saying you have to necessarily separate into stanzas, but I had to stop and start while reading because you didn't have even a pause when you were creating a new thought. So in that case, it was very hard to understand at first. It could be a lot smoother instead of each word running together.

Anyway, keep writing!

Well written!
