Short and powerful. Poems like this pack an emotional punch. Great use of rhythm.
In future poems, you might try using more concrete images and discreet details to represent your emotions.
I like how the poem is part of an imaginary dialogue between the author and a lost loved one. It’s an interesting structure for approaching a poem.
Keep it up!
