It’s your first glimpse at the person who makes your heart skip a beat

Your first kiss with the soul who sweeps you off your feet

And it’s your stomach, the way it feels, before you say those three simple, extraordinary words

That leave you staring blankly, hoping for a response afterwards

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's your wedding kiss on your special day

The beautiful, perfectly arranged flowers lying in your bouquet

And it's your child being born, saying his first words,

Taking his first steps and eating dirty worms

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is the day you think of your one and only,

sitting there staring blankly and lonely

Remembering them by these unforgettable memories

as you watch their bedside crumble to a slow melody.

Knight Dragon, here to review on this gloriously wonderful Review Day!

Technical:
"It’s your first glimpse at the person who makes your heart skip a beat

Your first kiss with the soul who sweeps you off your feet"
You need commas at the end of these lines to help with the reading flow. Those are really cool lines, but they need a bit of a pause between them, which you can do with commas.

"That leave you staring blankly, hoping for a response afterwards", you need a period here.

Note on the ~~~ break lines: those are unnecessary. If you're having trouble with formatting, try typing this up in a Word document in the format you want, then upload that file and replace this existing one. It should fix the problems without having to delve into the code.

Content:
Wow. That was a pretty dramatic ending that took me completely by surprise. It's all happy, happy, SAD....but real. Oh so real. It reminded me of the first five minutes or so of Disney's Up. And I mean that in a good way. That was a really good, but really sad, beginning, and your poem captured that same sort of mentality. Good job, and keep going!

Hope this helps! Happy Review Day!

Hi, lyricalrebel here to review your work ;)
Frankly, your poem is fantastic. Why, you may ask? Get this, when I read your poem, I imagined myself staring in the eyes of my boyfriend and whispering my affections to him. And the wedding! God, it has always been our dream! To walk down the aisle arm in arm with your father and your soon-to-be husband's smile welcoming you. I love your poem.
The flow is amazing, showing the arrangement of events in an undying love. I felt the emotions of love reflected through your every words and running down my spine. Thank you...for making me smile :)
Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much :) I was going for sad but now I think I should add another stanza to make it uplifting again-not too sure. But thank you so much, it means a lot!
