Three things: First, Jake
Three things:
First, Jake is obviously the one who is not "in love" with Olivea. Text messages that take time and effort, to me, show how much you really care about a person. If you abbreviate (what I call "text talk"), as in "u" for "you", the number "2" to represent "to" or "too" - it's just lazy and doesn't seem to show much interest. Olivea's texts, however, are well-thought out, grammatically correct, and much more deep.
Second, the names are great choices. Jake is a very commonplace, everyday name... nothing unique, nothing desired. Olivea (I've never seen it spelled like that either) is a very unique girl, one that is capable of loving, unlike her commonplace counterpart "Jake". The olive tree is also a reference to Shakespeare, I believe, which has stemmed to be the meaning of "fruitfulness" and "bountiful" and "beautiful." Not sure if this is accurate, but that's my impression on the name choices.
Thirdly, this is really great. A very unique piece that I responded to very positively. Enjoyed the read... Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I dont get many
Thank you! I dont get many responses to my poems. I wrote this so long ago. And I never made a part two. I cant even remember what is was going to be. There was something with the names. . .I hate that I cant remember. But yes you were right about the grammar. And the unique part of the names. I didnt think of the Shakespeare reference though. Thank you for ypur feedback!! Welcome to leave more!

I wish people would take time
I wish people would take time to read mine, but I write in very long, extended metaphors that have a lot of meaning to me. But not to many others... So I feel your pain on little comments. :P
Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your piece, and to offer some insight into your work... Because that's what poetry is for.
Happy writing!
