It is so worth remembering...
"The First Day I Met You"
Today! The best day to recall that,
"How Much I Mean To You"
I still remember the day we met
We were too shy to see at each other
It's funny to think back to that time
Because now we're like mirrors!
We've been learning so much together
In so little time we have shared
I will never forget such moments
Those are the best moments we enjoyed!.
You will be always there for me
to lift my spirits up the sky
I cannot regret the time I spent
Because it's all so worth while!
you're more than a friend to me
you're my teacher to guide
you're more than a sister...
like a mother to care me as your child!

Hey! Cello here for a review!
Let's jump right in-
Okay, this may very well be a regional thing, but I've never heard 'to see at' as an alternative for 'to look at' (Is that what you were trying to say?) Well, if I'm right with your meaning here, I would suggest simply changing it to 'look'. I personally think it sounds better and it flows better too.
There's no reason for this to be exclaimed, it's more of a statement. Change that exclamation point to a period. Wait, you don't use other punctation throughout the poem so scratch that! Simply take out the exclamation.
Again, this is a statement not an explanation. No exclamation points! (See what I did there?
Must I say it?
Let me just say something (Credits to good ol google) Exclamation-a sudden cry or remark, especially expressing surprise, anger, or pain. If the sentence doesn't fit this definition then adding an exclamation point looks unprofessional.
(Exclamation alert)
Capitalize the beginning of these lines to stick with your pattern. Also, I would recommend adding some punctation thought the whole thing. Even just some commas; It would help with the flow.
Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed the story and meaning in this. It was a joy to read, too.

Thank you n I try to write poems in a better way.
Hello supZ,
Welcome to YWS! I'm glad you joined us.
I'm going to be following this style of review if you want to take a look at the article to get a better understanding of it. The YWS Critique Sandwich
It's how we encourage all YWS members to review, so it's a useful article to have.
First, what I liked about the poem was that you were allowing your creativity to show. You were exploring the ways that these words played off each other from what I could see and that made a nice flow for the poem.
Second, things you could work on. I think the main thing I would like to see you work on is the consistency of the poem. In some spots you have a good flow, and in other spots you don't. I think this might be because you went back and changed something? What I'm talking about is where the lines don't really fit together next to one another. If you read the poem aloud, the lines I'm speaking about are 3 and 4. While I see that it looks like you're going for a title (are you?) to something the title doesn't flow smoothly with the words that come before and after it. It reads awkwardly because it doesn't fit in the sentence. This makes the poem jerky and inconsistent. Also in the third to last line, the use of "to" is confusing.
One of the ways you can fix this is to read your poem cold and read it out loud if you get the opportunity. If you don't, then try to develop enough of a mental voice that you can read aloud in your head and just read the poem again after a couple hours or after a few days. This should help you hear what's wrong as long as you make sure you're not reading what you wanted it to say rather than what you said.
Third, in conclusion, I would like to see you work on consistency in your poem. You have good flow in some parts, but not in others so I would like to see the flow you have used throughout the entire poem. You do a good job with it so do a good job with it everywhere. I hope to see more of your work on YWS!

Hi there and Welcome to YWS, I'm here to Review this work.
Unfortunately (this is for your description) 1 great friend is WAY better than 1000 friends.
Anyways this poem was a bit hard to interpret since you were all over the place, I see no need for the bolded words so maybe put them back to normal. Halfway through I noticed you were talking about a friendship but it apparently It did in fact end which makes your title a moot point. As we near the end you confused me again,
Honestly that doesn't sound like a friendship, it sounds more like a one sided friendship in which you think you are friends while the other only sees you as a toy to be used, maybe rephrase this so it doesn't look like that
Remember consistency is key and this had no consistency, separate the stanza's and try to make it less confusing to read. Another tip I have for you is to add in what makes this a never ending friendship, because this poem pretty much discredits the title.
Hope this doesn't discourage you.

This review really motivated me to write poems in a better way . Thank you so much...
Glad I could Help
Hello there supz!
I see you are a very new member, so WELCOME TO YWS!!!! I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. IF you need anything reviewed, let me know. I go on this site daily.
I have a few nitpicks for you. Overall this poem shows how I feel about a cousin I recently met. I live in america, he lives in Poland. I recently went on a trip there and met him for the first time. So this poem actually speaks the emotions I feel about him now that I'm back in america. Head's up:
YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT BY THE GRAMMAR POLICE! REASON BEING:
"We were too shy to see at each other"
Maybe you meant
"We were too shy to see each other,"
"Those are the best moments we enjoyed!."
I feel like that period after the exclamation mark shouldn't be there.
Maybe either do the exclamation mark OR the period, not both.
"like a mother to care me as your child!"
I think maybe you should write,
"Like a mother to care for me as your child!"
Capitalize the L and add for in between care and me. the previous one didn't make much sense.
"you're my teacher to guide"
Maybe you meant:
"you're my teacher and guide"
and lastly,
"I cannot regret the time I spent"
I personally would write
"I cannot regret the time we spent"
Because you didn't spend it alone, you spent it with someone else, so I think we fits a little better.
Other wise great job and I look forward to seeing more of your work!
"Little things makes us happy" your review and the way you corrected my mistakes really made me happy and I concentrate on my grammar more.
I am glad I could do that for you!
