Your title...
is a bit ambiguous, but still very apt. There isn't much to the piece and so not much of a chance to assess the rhythm, pace or
pattern, but the logic and theme come through. BTW your use of [are], should be replaced with [our]. ~ Geezer.

hello Porter Allen,
I like what you have here so far. it sounds lyrical, you have got a good beat going. I would like to encourage you to expand and develop it, as I know you have more to say. good luck to you, should you decide to do so.
I feel that the title is just okay. this is a beautiful poem, it deserves a beautiful title. suggestions: Marry My Lost Love, To Mary. My Heart And Soul. something that reflects the passion and longing of the poem.
nice to meet you!
*hugs, Cat
