Hi. Have we met?

Wow, this poem is relatable on a whole lot of levels. I really enjoyed it, even though I can't really say if everything is correct since I'm not a poetry expert whatsoever. Still, this has a special place in my heart. Everyone has or will have gone through this phase eventually, so your words ring true in every respect. Thanks for writing this!

I'm not usually into poetry, but you are now one of 3 poets on yws I like. Good job keep up the good work. ironically the other two poets on here I like have already commented on this.

it's really very nice and beautiful.i like it.
keep writing.........

Well done for not being good at reviewing poetry, @Wolfare1 That was quite good. I think though, you should change something. Let's see if I can explain this XD So, overall you poem was good, but I thought it could be better. I think it needs more emotion. I noticed that your lines go: 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8. If you somehow managed to get a better structure out of this like say, 3456789.. lines then it would add another element to this piece. Or you could do something else, but my point is that you should rearrange the structure. I also believe this sense of structure would add to the simplistic element of this poem. Next, I think instead of

You don't.
But I thought you knew me.

You don't.. do you? or You don't but I know you so well or or You don't, but I thought you knew me.

What did I just read?

DINA! Stop liking that senior dude. K? Cause this is getting too much >,< You cna control your feelings.

"Hello.
I don't think we've met before, "
"I've met you before"
CONFLICT HERE

I'm not sure how to do all of the fancy work where you can bold and quote things within a review, so this will have to do haha

I must say that I absolutely adored this entire section, especially the first two lines of the stanza below.

"I've laughed at your jokes
that weren't even there,
and my heart lept at the thought that
we would even speak."

You beautifully capture a lovesick girl who laughs at anything their crush says, whether they were trying to be funny or not. I love it!

Also, I love the matter-of-fact, straightforward tone in these brackets:

"[There is nothing between us.]"

The only criticism I might have is that the third line in the third stanza doesn't quite flow as nicely as the rest of your poem, but that is also just my opinion.

Nice work!

This is really sad

I personally spent two years of my life with a massive crush on a friend who never thought of me in that way. Granted, it's not as major as what happened in your poem, but it's a hard thing to go through. I think you captured the emotion of that event, the unrequited love, really well.

Your poem flowed really well and was enjoyable to read. The fact that it was quite plain stylistically, without the flowery language some poems have, felt quite natural considering the topic. For me, personally, it felt a lot more emotional and it provoked more feelings as it felt a lot more raw, like how someone would actually speak.

This was a beautifully written, quite emotional piece and I'm definitely interested to see what else you've written.

wow.. that was a great poem smooth flowing and it appeals to the reader. i like the story like set up and the work in the [] expressing yous thoughts is quite skilled. i think i would like to use them in my poems too sometime.
however i have some points to remark-
first of all you could do better with the ending, why say good bye- just make yous thoughts worth it and give it a romantic end rather than a half confused , half tragic one.
nest i think the poem is really sweet but i miss some substance, perhaps you can include some conversations in direct speech, perhaps include her uneasiness when you simply stare at her and some ridiculous incidents that love drove you into.
overall the poem is really sweet to read and please let me know if you make any changes.
keep writing

Hey Wolfare1,
Great poem! I love the way you included the parenthesis. It adds another level of insight into the person this is about. I feel like many can relate with this too because although it does say I love you it could be male or female and it a love idea that anyone could feel. I also think it has a strong literary element where a lot it left up to the reader to figure out yet the reader isn't lost. Anyway overall I really liked it. And I really like your writing style, it is unique.

I'm still fangirling over this. Just wanted to let you know.

Hello CapitalMonday here for a review. i like to begin with how this kinda reminds me of a song since the stanzas in the brackets are like the chorus (in a sense) also how people could relate to this poem since when when we meet someone, we think that this friendship could last but until we leave we may never see them again.

Nitpick(s):

I've met you before/even if you are sure/we are complete strangers these lines seem to confuse me (just a little). Since when you meet someone, sure they are stranger that you don't know and then that friendship blossoms into something more. (Sorry for rambling)

Overall, this poem is quite great/well-written and uses a good tone to this poem. Also how the message of this poem could be "is good-bye really a good-bye?" I could relate to this poem since i met this guy at my old state and we talked and we would walk home together. One day, my mum said that we would be moving 2 weeks and i was like we can't.

1 week later, i had told my best friend that i would be leaving and he wasn't sure who i was. I was like its me, your best friend. He just looked at me and walked back inside.

I have felt horrible ever since then but this poem reminds me of that (Sorry for rambling about this poem, just my way of saying how well-written it is)

Farewell,
CapitalMonday
