Reader's Most Favorited Poem?

Readers of my book "Dear Bohemian Man" sent in a lot of messages regarding how they loved the book and the poems. I, as the writer, was curious which poem did they liked most?
There were a lot of appreciation for the poems Seven Years of Him, The Crying Girl, The Sick Need to Win and This Hour. But the most liked one was, poem number 6, Lost Souls from the Part I Days. The poem was loved equally by both genders.
So, I am sharing the poem my readers loved most.


Lost Souls

And the worst part of our romance?
           we never broke up
           we never started
           we jumped right into the mid.


We never said I love you
           we never said I hate you
           we were so besotted with each other
           we forgot to make our promises.


So the continents parted our ways
          and we just watched ourselves disappear
          thin into the air of changing worlds
          till we could no longer define what we once had.


One of my favorite poet, Luka Lesson said these about the poem, "It is straight to the point, not cliche or over dramatic...really powerful."                
And my favorite one?
Well, I love all my poems (being modest) but if I had to pick one, that would be the title poem "Dear Bohemian Man" because it contains some kaleidoscopic truths in few chunks of words and trails and there are lot of secrets hidden between the lines.
If you have read the book, let me know which one made it to your favorite list?

Some messages by readers and their favorite poems.
