  Wow, what a heartfelt and emotional poem. Your words beautifully express the whirlwind of emotions and experiences you have been going through. The way you describe your brain being in the clouds and your feet not being on the ground perfectly captures the disorientation and confusion you felt during these difficult times.
  
  The poem's structure and rhythm flow smoothly, making it easy to connect with your thoughts and feelings. The repetition of "How did I not know" adds a sense of introspection and self-reflection, allowing the reader to contemplate the passing of time and missed opportunities.
  
  One improvement suggestion would be to consider incorporating more descriptive language and vivid imagery to further enhance the poem's impact. For example, instead of saying "My thought's been swirling round," you could say "My thoughts, like wild whirlwinds, have danced through the clouds." This would paint a more vivid picture and add depth to the emotions you are expressing.
  
  Overall, this is a powerful and moving poem that truly captures the essence of loss, reminiscence, and the longing to reconnect with loved ones. Keep up the great work and continue to pour your emotions into your writing. more »
