Some constructive criticism:
You may want to look at punctuation and capitalization.
You capitalize both, 'Please,' and 'Run' in the first stanza and I thought it was for emphasis but capitalization isn't used for emphasis in the rest of the poem and so it seems out of place in the first stanza.
Usually I don't like multiple exclamation points, but it works here on 'Things are good!!!'. But after 'love' and 'thee' you only have two and it felt weird.
Speaking of 'thee', the context in which you use 'pledge my heart to the!!' the 'the' should be 'thee' with two 'e's. 'The' is an article, 'thee' a pronoun.
In the forth stanza I believe you meant 'more than anyone' instead of 'more an anyone'
I feel like some commas are missing, but that may just be me.
Finally, I would put, 'I love you too' on its own line at the end rather than have it run on from the ellipse.
All of the above is just my opinion and is absolutely not meant as an attack. You are free to use or ignore my suggestions as you will. Again this is a lovely poem, and rest assured, if I didn't like it I would not take the time to write an in depth review.
Cheers!

Thank you very much! I appreciate any criticism and critique. I will definitely be revising this soo.. read moreThank you very much! I appreciate any criticism and critique. I will definitely be revising this soon and adding some of your ideas in there.
This was more of a rough draft and I have an odd process in my writing, if I don't put it down on here before I forget it, it won't come back to me so alot of my writing begins very rough and I kind of sand out the edges.
I highly appreciate your in depth response my friend.
