That line doesn't work somehow, but the rest.......was awesome!!! I really like the imagery, and it didn't seem cliche to me like most stories like this do. Interesting... Its a very grown-up piece of work.... lol....
So Sad! i really could image somebody crying over love letters...watching shooting stars! its really great and im sure everybody can relate to it! So apart from the fact that i almost started bawling in the middle of computer class i think its great =D>

<love> is sweet -suicide- and {[you]} are my LATEST a.t.t.e.m.p.t
I feel like I'm getting more apathetic each day. This hardly did anything for me.
But still...
Why don't you send it to him anyway, just for kicks? Who knows what could happen...

I really loved it. I loved the imagery in the words. I didn't really like some of the parts about the angels at the end though, i didn't think all fit. I loved this line about angels though.
I hear them sometimes; they comfort me, when thoughts and memories of you do not.
I didn't like this line so much though.
Do you hear the angels whispering? I hear them sometimes
Overall i loved this piece if writing, i really felt your words.
Real poetry are those with the best words in the best order
Oh, this is gorgeously written. There are a couple of grammatical errors (it's the commas; they're the kiss of death, or something close enough) and a few words/sentences that jar the sound/atmosphere that the rest of the piece creates (the word nonetheless completely kills the last sentence), but I'll strangle my inner editor into silence (well, sort-of silence) for this one because I'm thinking a few out-of-place commas don't matter in the long run for this piece. (You didn't, I assume, post it so we could pick apart the sentence structure.) Like Snoink, I don't think the emotional oomph has quite carried across, but it's a lovely piece of word candy, which is enough. Good stuff.
(And if the distance between the two of you is wide enough, I do sort of think you should send it. Because, if he's not the kind of person to flout the letter, the potential gain outweighs the potential loss. And, if nothing else well, it's a very pretty letter.)
