For the previous poem was the one that took the last paper of my physical poem book, I chose it to be the one to end the first book I fully finish writing.

Back in 2017, I bought a notebook to write poems in, and little did I know I would actually end up with so much. Not all the poems here are from the physical book though, but most (probably all) of the cringey ones are from there.

This is my first book, therefore it contains most of my bad/not my best poems. Hopefully in a second poem book, there will be better poems, so please look forward to it.

For a person to have made me write at least one of these poems, you must have really hurt me (or made me extremely happy). So I would like to thank you, for I have forgotten some of you, and others whom I was able to move on about, for bringing this book to life with me.

I would also like to thank my current friends who never fail to give me love and support. If there are any happy poems in this book, take them with you.

To anyone reading this, I hope life treats you well, never lose hope-or at least stay alive- there are many people who love you so much, and I'm one of them, take care of yourself.

Also, 'nephophilia' is the love for clouds. Clouds may seem ordinary for some people, but they aren't ordinary at all for me, and it is obvious for most of my poems have mentions of clouds in them.
