Forever

She covers her eyes
and avoids to see. "Avoids to see" sounds a little weird...
She whispers his name
in dreams in her sleep. A little weak.
She takes his hand
and presses it to her cheek.
She tells him the words
she’s too afraid to speak. But if she tells him, she's still speaking it, even if he's asleep. I'd just try to clarify that a little.
He listens to her patiently
and loves her with every touch.
‘Forever’ he says
‘Forever’ she says.
She covers her eyes
and begins to see.
You give up on the rhyme scheme towards the end, and really it feels a little forced throughout. I think it held back what you were trying to say, but overall this was still alright. All the same, I also think it could still be improved. Keep writing!

He listens to her patiently "Patiently" simply kills the feeling you are getting at.
and loves her with every touch. Um, I know this is supposed to be a romantic poem, but this line sounds forced, and not entirely genuine.

‘Forever’ she says.
She covers her eyes

Okay, my main critique is, what happened to the rhyming? It was there at first, and then...what? I understand that maintaining a rhyme scheme can be difficult, but you have to stick with it. Actually, I would just recommend cutting it out altogether, because it can be very limiting.
