When im with you i feel special
And better than all of the rest,
Even at my very worst or best
Every time we talk my heart skips a beat
Is it just me or can you feel the heat
Rushing up to my face
I turn away in disgrace
But you turn me back around
To hear the soothing sound
Of your voice in my ear
Telling me my problems will disappear
Our eyes meet and we both know
Soon the things around us will slow
Until time stops and our lips meet
Then my life will be perfectly complete

I love the rhyme scheme. It makes it easier to read, and it gives your poem a content mood. It is beautiful, but to make it more interesting maybe you should add rhetorical devices. Such as similes or metaphors. "He is as sweet as candy" is a simile, and "He is my light" is a metaphor.

I feel like this with my boyfriend. I have been with my man for a year and 2 months. This is my longest  relationship i have been in. I feel like he is the one. We have gone through everything together, and i mean everything. We fight all time, but we love it. I can say even though we hate each other sometimes we are always going to love each other.

I like the rhyme scheme in this poem. It gives the poem a nice flow, and makes me want to read it. I think you should try putting a little figurative language in the poem like metaphors or similes.

very relatable. however i was a little confused by the jump between in the halls where it almost seems like she doesnt know him super well till when hes whispering in her ear, and then a kiss?! ah! hahaha so i guess i couldnt tell which part(s) if any were her dreams or reality.

but like i said, very relatable. i like it! :)
