I just wrote a very detailed review which was lost, so I'll just outline my suggestions and invite you to get back to me for explanations and further guidance if you wish. You CAN improve. 1. Your piece is riddled with cliche & inverted sentence, 2. With the regular rhyme scheme you use here, the meter must be perfect. 3. Use of stanzas even in this short poem, would make it more effective 4. "so" is not an effective addition to an adjective, except perhaps in very personal correspondence. 5. Eliminate spelling error always if possible. This poem is short and simple. That makes them inexcusable.

But it does feel disjointed and like it was stated the meter is all over the place and stanzas would of helped a lot to get it going. Just keep going at it and you will find a style that fits you. One more bit of advice, just write! -- Satisfaction is the Death of Desire!

Coupled with the use of some sort of stanza structure, this would make the poem easier for the reader to follow. -Keep your audience in mind and do not exclude them. Despite the fact that this is a love poem between two individuals, the reader can be better included so they both feel they have first person clarity upon the events (the of imagry would help here) and are experiencing the events as they unfold. It's the difference between being spoken "to" and being spoken "at". Best of luck with your future writing :-)

Every time I see you You put a smile on my face. Every time I see you My heart it starts to race. I love the way you smile And the way you play with your hair. I love the way you smell And the way you always seem to care. Your lips look so soft Soft enough to kiss. So when you have to go away It’s you I always miss. I love that your so beautiful And to this you don‘t think true. I guess what I’m trying to say Is… I love you.
