Hey, here's that review!
First of all, I really like the poem because I can relate to it on two levels; as the lover and the loved. And that's what a poet needs to do, right? Connect to his/her readers. So well done on that aspect.
"Worthwhile" is one word. The space is unnecessary.
It's a good topic, but I feel like you should try to watch the syllable count for all the lines. A deviation of one or two doesn't make too much of a difference, but more than that and the poem loses its beat. So extend some lines and cut short others. For example, you've ended one stanza with
"He made me feel like life was worth while."
and another with
"This is why I fall".
The same goes for most of the starting lines. Try to follow some kind of beat or pattern to ensure a smoother reading.
I'd suggest using a larger vocabulary? I mean, it's only my personal opinion, but I feel like the poem can have a few words that sound better or slightly more vivid. But that's up to you.
This, according to me, is the best written stanza because it has good imagery, diction and beat:
"Losing you because of feelings
Means I have done wrong as your friend
I would rather be coated in jealousy
Than to keep you all for me"
Your grammar and spellings are great, but I'd suggest ending each stanza with a full stop. It pleases the eye.
Great poem! I'd love to see and review more of your work. I hope I wasn't too critical with my review!
