This is such a nice poem and truly heartfelt to the one you love. The rhyme is goosd the meter a bit off in places but you are talking from your heart and this is what happens. Your sentiments are great and altogether makes an excellent poem Kay

Mike,
Very special poem about relationships; missing people when they're not around so much. I especially like the part that says keep the best part of me with you. Enjoyed it.

    That last line demonstartes both faith and the fact that the other person is considered their better half. Thank you very much for this review and the compliments.

    It's funny, I'm happy again! A lot of people that I am fans of stopped writing for the time being and I wanted to put the feelings into words as if it were real. My story is quite different and that's why I changed things. It is also funny, because I completed another one during work that I am about to post. I really hope they don't read my reviews. lol I enjoyed and appreciated your compliments and this review. ThankTwo

Nicely written poem about the absence of a loved one. I assume it's free verse since the meter is not consistent.

Some words could be omitted for a better rhythm:

But never thought that your
absence would make me alone.

I know the business, myself
and home is such a tight fit.

These are just suggestions.

It was a pleasure to read your poem.

When we are with a person for a while, the relationship can get stale. We want a "vacation" from that person. "I planned to relax, enjoy; and make the most of the time" says about the same thing. I start to miss my spouse and "It feels the same, as if you walked; out the door, calling it quits." I don't thing absence make the heart fonder but it make you realize how much a part of your life that person is.

This poem has a bittersweet tone to it.
I think the rhyme scheme fits nicely.
An easy read and a topic that I'm sure many can relate to.
Nice job!

Very nice sentiment, Mike.

My only criticism is that I didn't like the semicolon followed by the dash, in the final stanza. I think one or the other would be sufficient enough.

This was as usual well written and a joy to read.
Thanks for sharing.
Lynn

Ah parting is such sweet sorrow! The meter is not always consistent and some of your rhymes, like some of mine, are a bit of a stretch, but nevertheless an enjoyable poem. Well done. Happy conquering!
