"have" questions
Good day! I'm trying to write a quote..
"I have wanted you to be mine, from the very start.
It's just that, I still haven't figured out (yet) how did my last one (relationship) have fallen apart."
Do my usage of have in the quote above correct?
Can I insert the word "yet" there? Or is it more natural not to put it since there is already the word "still"?
And I would appreciate it so much if you will suggest some improvements to it to make it sound more natural and poetic.
Thank you in advance!
