nostalgia

2011/2012.

Truth is often so misspoken,
Veiled behind the walls we build;

Vivid words are swathed inside

A gap left unfulfilled.

With passing days the distance grows

And weeks compress to months and years,

Remnants fade and feelings pass --

In time all darkness clears. 

But still I'm haunted by the ghosts

Of words I failed to say,

And still I wonder if you knew

Just how I felt that day.

Alive with warm emotion,

I was taken by your smile,

My soul was swimming in your light,

Enchanted with your style.

I miss the way you made me feel

And though it sounds cliché,

I think about you all the time,

You're in my heart to stay.

I really loved that poem, there were some great lines in there with really vivid emotions. This was really good! I have one note, you may have done this on purpose, but for me there were one or to lines that didn't really flow, mostly because they didn't follow the pattern with the number of syllables. For example, the line "a gap left unfilled" is a few syllables short, as is the line "in time all darkness clears". This might be intentional, or I could just be reading it wrong, but in my opinion adding a few extra syllables would really improve the flow.
