All I gotta say is... LOL. Help me here, please! Tell me what you think. xD Thanks.

I love you!
Did I ever tell you that?

Out of all the centuries in history
We have both collided here
I'm pretty sure that happened
'Cause God wanted it

I can do nothing about this
My eyes won't like anyone else
My heart hates the idea
And bounces hyped to know you're there

Once I asked it to slow down
But it is awkward, that I learned
That thing is a rebel
Way too stubborn to obey

But I write this to say something
I just don't know how to start
Oh, yeah! Did you read the first line?

I like it. Not too much I can say, because I don't think that you were deep enough with this poem, which I would be.
The last line of your second-to-last stanza should read "Way too stubborn to obey". Sorry, I'm picky about spelling.
The first six lines of your poem are excellent, in my eyes. Nothng needs to be done there.
I don't like the rest really, except for your last three lines. An example of how you couldv'e been deeper with this work is that you wrote "Me eyes won't like anyone else". It is very on the surface, if you know what I mean.
And I really don't quite understand what you are saying in this stanza.

Once I asked him to slow down
But it is awkward, that I learned
That thing is a rebel
Way to stubborn to obey

Your change from second to third person really threw me off.
Otherwise, great job. A few changes could make this a great poem.
Keep writing!

Hi Leanne. :) I just wanted to say I liked your poem. I just noticed one little error.

Way to stubborn too obey
Too should be to.

Other than that, great job.

Keep writing~Blue.

Good work!
Just watch you grammar. Everytime you finish a line make sure there is a comma. You get me? :)
I hope you do, just PM me if you need any other help.

Nice, I like it. :) It's short and sweet. :D That's what made it great. I actually have nothing much left to say. xD

Okay, one nitpick lol:

And bounces hyped to know you're there

- 'Bounces hyped'? A verb seems to be inappropriate after 'Bounces'. Maybe, you meant 'high'?

Keep writing! :D

I liked it, again, I agree about the use of hyped; is that what you meant to put there? If it is then I will eat my words but I'd never thought of it in the way you have used it. Also, grammer. Watch the commas and use of pauses, it's especially crucial to poetry as it is more likely to be read out and needs to flow in the right way to find the rhythm. Other than those minor things I thought it was really good.
~Happy writing
