I like this poem

but was unsure at the end if there is more than one "I" in the poem, or if the "I" had a change of heart?

No change of heart

There is more than one 'I' in the poem. I didn't want to clutter the poem with quotation marks. Also, didn't want to do the he said/she said thing. I didn't think it was too confusing and i did run it by a few others who seemed to get the message. Any suggestions for making it clearer to the reader? Thanks for commenting...feedback is always appreciated.

I hate that i have to now rate my own poem in order to reply...what's up with that?

I like it

and I understood when the "I" appeared in the end.

but i did go back and read it again with that knowledge

And good for you for seeking love
