Still it
lingers,
the echo
of what
might have
been.
what may
someday be.
a taste of
yesterday,
I carry
with me.
lingering
memories
meshing with
dreams.
Leaving me
eager
to go back
to sleep
in my dreams
I'm with you
for keeps.
Still it
lingers

Very nice
Yes yes dreams of what could have been. How awful to dream of your perfect one and wake up to reality. You do long to go back to sleep to be with them. Very nice work -

Well done, poet!
this is really a great poem of sifting wishes, longings, needs.
Well done, poet! -
i like that it's simple and straightforward. although, it could easily be it's flaw too. good work, nevertheless.

I love the word "linger" - it has so much meaning in so few letters. Love often lingers ever so delicately, whether we want it to or not.
The way you made certain words bold in the poem really emphasized the meaning. Good job and good luck! -
i love the way you tied the title into the poem. i also like the style and how the poem was general enough to appeal to people in similar, yet different, situations.

Wow, I think this is a place all of us have been to! Great job at capturing that haunting "what if" that's so tough to escape.
Nicely done, good luck in the contest!
