This piece was really good. It had a lot of repeating lines. I forgot what they were called but this poem was good. I don't get the third paragraph though. I forgot what that was called too. I think it was a stanza or something but anyways yeah I didn't get it. The last line in the paragraph didn't make any sense. But other then that this was a good poem and I see that you are in love. Same here.
loved it!!!
I love the thought and description of this piece, but the flow is somewhat choppy. I would go back and rethink the use of some of the periods and commas. I mean no harm, I am just simply giving you some suggestions. Altogether a good poem, but next time read it aloud so that you can get a feel of it it flows correctly. Great Job and let me know if you need anymore suggestions.
Firstly, I would re-think a lot of the full-stops, I think commas or deletion would make the poem run more smoothly.
Secondly, I would remove the last line of every stanza, the repetition doesn't add anything, I feel.
Lastly, I'd review the whole poem with a 'show not tell' filter. It is always more interesting to be shown something. So rather than tell us 'his grip is strong and firm' describe what it reminds you of? Or whether it has left imprints on your skin, in your mind. I don't know, I just feel like that would make it a more interesting read.
Other than that, there is a nice sentiment behind the poem
Happy new year!
I had a real problem with how choppy this poem is - so many commas, so many full stops. I feel like the tone is so unnatural because you never let a thought flesh out; you kill it off before it has time to mature and flow into other images. The first stanza I thought was especially guilty of this; and it's ironic because its theme is feeling good, naturalness, inevitability - but in fact it felt stuck.
That said, don't feel you can solve this by killing off the grammar. For instance, the first two lines might read "His hand feels good in mine / like its been there my whole life" which, if you remove the line break, just reads like a simple boring sentence. You don't want that - try and be a bit more adventurous with the language you use and the images that they express.
You can definitely do it though! I very much liked the flow of
Best of luck.

Well, I was instantly intrigued because... it's a love poem. Shameful..
I don't think there's anything to correct in this except
I love the longing the narrator feels to be always holding his hand. It's really cute
because you didn't capitalise the I. Stupid shift key, hey. I really like how you've repeated the first line in the last stanza at the end.
Lovely poem, it definitely appeals to me and is really nice with the idea of this love through holding hands, so sweet.
Keep writing

Thank you. I fixed the uncapitalized I. Silly me, I know I read it over, but I don't have the best eyesight (tehee i sight, get it? cause like... oh never mind. lol) so I am glad someone caught it. Glad you enjoyed the piece.
Aha well done
