At first, I was getting visions of a long-distance love . . . but then at the end, I started to realize this must be a beckoning message to the love that hasn't happened yet. This twist is well done & easy to follow, giving your poem more depth than a simple poem about wishing someone to be near. Normally, I'm skeptical of repeating lines just for the sake of echoing some sentiment, sounding like the poet is in love with some line he/she crafted. But in this poem, the repetition contributes to the message & is not distracting . . . just the right amount of repetition, too (some poets feel obligated to repeat a line in every stanza, for uniformity, but repeating here & there works better, I think). Thanks for sharing your well-written poem.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I appreciate it.
Melinda, The wondering...when will I find the love I'm dreaming for? We all have experienced that feeling, and most of us find that love...then 50% of those unions go bust. A lovely person like you will find that feeling, that love...the one.
When that day comes the right person won't give a darn about your disability, they will just care about Melinda, not Melinda and her chair. I know your faith is so strong, keep the faith that love will find you. We all love you here on WC and we know that love will find you and you will find that love.
A beautifully written piece you have here; great job! take care...dan
Gentle and kind words for the emotion of love.
"Until then,
I can only hope time lends.
Dreaming you to be…
Dreaming you to me."
I liked the above lines. To dream first allow the final place to be perfect. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry dear Melinda.
