I found

Dedicated to someone that helped me find myself out of the terrible mess I was.

I found in you my truest friend,

I found in you my soul.

I found in you all my lost dreams

I found in you priceless jewels of gold.

I found in you the smiles I lost,

I found in you all the happiness I've known.

I found in you all the braveness I earned

I found in you a light that shone.

I found in you all that made me smile

I found in you the answers to all the secrets of the universe,

I found in you every hope I gave up

I found in you my favourite verse.

And in finding you I found myself

the one I lost with my first heartbreak,

In finding you I found the cure

to every single one of my heartaches.

And now that I've found you,

I hope you know I'll never let you go,

You've become my reason to breathe

You've become my sun in the shivering snow.

So, thanks for being all I ever needed

You are every wish of mine come true.

You are every beat that my heart skips

and nothing can make me 'unlove' you.

Really nice. But I think some of the lines are too long and could be shortened without changing the meaning. In particular, the poem would read better if the pattern established in the first two lines, of a long line followed by a short line, was repeated throughout.

For example, change the fourth line to "I found in you priceless jewels"; the tenth line to "I found in you all the answers", etc

I'll make sure of that the next time I write something. Thank you so much!

Nothing is to be said. This is romance here... at it's best. This was a romance poem. It really grabs. it is also sincere.

Hey there!!
Do you know what I think?
I think that you quite cleverly managed to encompass a multitude of emotions into one teensy little piece of writing.
Kudos for the amazing job!
Keep Writing!

I can understand the sentiment of the poem. And you have talent, I would just move on from repeating the same sentence starter over and over, it feels like you are using a template and filling in the rest. When you stopped using "I found you" so much, I loved every minute of it. Do more stuff like that!

They say when true love comes along
all is healed
the past packs itself away
only of that love is genuine

Well done
