• A dislike of urban life, embrace of the natural world.
• A love of the supernatural

Wrote in tercets, the line length alludes to an imbalance and that there is something wrong, reflecting the broken nature of the relationship. The final stanza is a couplet, reflecting an optimistic ending by having it differ from the tercets. Also, a couplet to show a couple.
