Is this a good, free verse poem about unrequited love?

pretty good-- captures the confusion and cloudiness of it all. Nothing is black and white in love bc we cannot enter another's mind, and, even if we could, we still may find no clarity. But, the poem is irritating bc it seems that the people aren't being open with each other-- why not? They are so reticent, but it doesn't have to be that way and shouldn't be-- you only live once, afterall. The poem seems very personal, and this is dangerous because the author often umes the reader knows more than he or she does-- you should provide more context, so the reader can follow along better-- we don't know ANYTHING that isn't at least implied in your writing.
