Age Gracefully

I think of you every time I look at the ring on my hand
the band of silver in my reminder
I only have a picture of you in my mind and memory
I kept my eyes on you
I could not look away
Just looking at you I was content
I took my stat by the window
You were standing tall and strong
at the head of the aisle
A constant smile on your face
Soaring high the cabin turned
the sun shining in the window
reflected back at me from your
brilliant blue eyes
Your caught my gazing eye and smiled at me
A smile that is powerfully embedded in my mind
I smile back and look away for a second
And you resume your position
You will never fade completely
from my mind
it hurts to think that I will never see you again
for a very long time anyway
But I must be patient
All will even out eventually
I don't know why I feel as if I love you
I think and feel in ways
that no one else does
I shshould love you
If I ever told anyone
they'd think I was crazy
And I am
But my mind works in strange ways
I begin to walk out of the cabin
and up the hall
But before it bends
I look over my shoulder
Straight into your blue eyes and smile
The last I saw of you was
your bright blue eyes and handsome face
smiling at me
...goodbye...
and I don't even know your name

    5/5. The ending was probably the strongest part of the poem; it shed light on the fact that you're talking about someone you saw once, fell in love with, and never saw again, and you still think about this person even though you're now married/engaged to someone else--that's what I got from it. A few more specifics, sensory images maybe, about the cabin might help the reader picture a detailed scene; it's a little vague as it is. Even so, good work.
