Every so often, she gave me a smile
and her blue-green eyes would
come alive and make me forget
about everything else
She was beautiful; living proof
That there is a God.
And I guess God loved me, because
She smiled at me every time our eyes met.
We talked every night, and as
close as we were for a time,
she was never in love with me,
the way I was with her.
And she was fine with it that way.
She never told me she wanted me to
kiss her, she never told me she
loved me; she just smiled.
And every time she did, I
caught my breath.
And then she was gone. She left
me waiting for her with the
memory. And maybe one day I'll see her
And she'll smile when we meet again
I know this is mediocre, but I really like it, so tear it up.

Every so often, she gave me a smile
and her blue-green eyes would
come alive and make me forget
about everything else. Loved the beging stanza
She was beautiful; living proof
That there is a God. I Like it
And I guess God loved me, because
She smiled at me every time our eyes met.
We talked every night, and as
close as we were for a time,
she was never in love with me,
the way I was with her.
And she was fine with it that way . This line really doesn't fit
She never told me she wanted me to
kiss her, she never told me she
loved me; she just smiled.
And every time she did, I
caught my breath. Love the dramatic feel
And then she was gone. She left
me waiting for her with the
memory. And maybe one day I'll see her
And she'll smile when we meet again Loved this ending
I liked this poem. I really think the complications in this poem are quite realistic and nice. This was pretty good.
*tears up dramatically*
Cool. Okay, the one thing I didn't really correct was the punctuation, which was kind of on-and-off. I'd go through it and make the changes yourself. Peace.

The only real problem I saw was you used and way too much. Other than that I loved it! Good Job! Keep Wriiting!!!
Hello there Alex. Here i am as you wanted me to be. Why do you want us to tear it up if you really like it? I could not really understand this mixed emotion of yours. And it is not that bad that we need to tear it up. We all are good people here on YWS.
Okay then here i go....
I liked the total idea of the poem. And i loved how you executed it. And you need not capitalize all the first words of a line if not necessary. It is very important.
See. I did not have to tear it up. Do not underestimate your own work mate.
Keep writing.
