Ever since junior year of high school (when I first read this poem), whenever I think of this poem I tear up.

So now I share it with all of you.

very cool

... and???
(honestly, that feels like a very dismissive opinion given the emotion encapsulated in the poem. :/ )

I'm sorry it came of that way.

It just, I dunno.... it's more poignang than just a 'cool' of any stripe, to me.

And personal.
