You never grew up

Age 3:

Wow you were perfect

How I looked up to you

My love for you, was so fierce

And so true.

Age 6:

I'm a third of your age now

Which is weird in a way

But you're still more perfect

I love you more day by day.

Age 9:

I'm half your age now

And so much more in love

You're everything wonderful

Angel ascended above

Age 12:

It's been almost a decade

Since that first time you graced my eyes

Drowning in a love I can't explain

My soul mourns and cries.

Age 15:

We are both teenagers now

You should be here with me

But you're not

Nor can you ever be

Age 18:

Well. We are the same age now

I've looked up to you for 15 years

And now I've caught up

I can't stop my tears

Age 19:

Now I'm at an age you never got to be

I keep growing up, and you froze in time

But I'll never leave you behind

And I struggle to make this last line rhyme

Because all I want to say is, why couldn't you grow up too?

to make the last stanza rhyme I would suggest adding in a line between your second and third line. for instance; "Now I'm at an age you never got to be: I kept growing up, and you froze in time: Even now I should say goodbye: But I'll never leave you behind"
