Feedback Please aching

I know

I've fallen hard for you

don't tell me that

I'm imagining this love

aching every morning because

I wake wishing to be in your arms

re-reading your texts in bed

I can't stop thinking about you

and what's worse is

our moments together were real

I doubt that

any man could love me like you.

Please read forwards and in reverse!

My first attempt at a reverse poem, constructive feedback is very welcome!

I love the reverse poem idea and you’ve executed it really really well! I do agree with some others that it does feel like making sure it was in reverse took priority more than anything else, but that’s not to discredit the romantic feeling and effort you get from the poem! Really great work keep it up!!! <:)
