Blurb:

Blurb is very short yet effective. It is directly to the point. It lets us know what the main story will be about, without giving out any details. The last sentence creates a great hook. The actual sentence that might grab the attention of the readers. Looking forward to the story.

Moving towards the chapters,

Great start. It is one of the shortest chapters ever read, yet really beautiful. It is meaningful and ends nicely.

The story has a different writing style as this isn't a continuous story. These are like some letters written by the main lead to their soulmate. Or a diary reminiscing the past. I might not be a proper reviewer for this style, but I will try my best.

All the lines have poetic effect. I loved the line- Just as I was your reason for breathing, you were my reason for believing.

Emotions come across really well. We can feel the love and pain, the main lead is penning down.

My heart really broke when it was mentioned that the main lead wasn't able to dream about their loved one for the first time. 

The part- never truly existed. This really threw me off. What an end! I couldn't imagine it.

Grammar:

I found some sentences that weren't properly formed. However, I think changing them might lose the poetic effect. As long as the meaning is understandable they should be fine.

Overall, there aren't any punctuation errors. Story is well written.

Last words,

A beautiful story indeed. The way it was filled with so much love and pain, I wouldn't have ever thought that it was the figment of imagination. It just shows how powerful an imagination is and how painful a lonely heart is. I love that along with realization there was still hope left. 

I had a good time reading it.

Thanks for choosing me. Keep writing!!
