I like love poems, especially those about forlorn love. It's just anguishing, and everyone knows what it feels like to love someone who may not feel the same.
What you have here is personal, honest, and very real. You've conveyed your point, and it's clear that you've lived through something that makes you feel both elated and sick at the same time. In that respect, this poem should not change. It's just how you feel.
Here's what I want to throw your way, though. Write another poem. Take something about this girl that makes you feel the way you do and focus on it. Is it her laugh, her eyes, her smile? Write about just one such aspect, focusing on the image, but make it as heartbreaking as possible. Describe every feeling and emotion as if it were a physical thing you could touch. This way, the situation is personalized -- something that only you have experienced.
Sorry if I get preachy. It's not my intent.
Give it a shot to see if you like the results. You certainly don't have to post your new poem on here, but put it up if you like it. You definately have a natural knack for the language in poetry, and I'd be interested in reading more. Feel free to send any read requests my way. Have a good one, sir, and I hope I could be of some assistance.
