It doesn't have to be convoluted to be good. This is clear, concise and to the point. I like it! As far as metering goes, go with your gut! Some of the most noted poets "ever" failed to follow the rules.
I like it, seems quite short though, and the rhythmic rhyme scheme needs to be adjusted cuz it goes 5-4-5-4-, 5-5-6-5-, so that throws it off a little, but not a bad start, and perhaps you could write a little more on this love you have?
That would add more depth to this poem. Keep up the good work though, and submit more poems and enter contests here, join groups here and you will start to make friends and contacts, ok. Best of luck to you, Steve.
