Poem to my girlfriend....what do you think?

Question

you came into my life unexpectedly,

and everything took a turn for the better.

the way you make me smile without saying one word

the sincere way you speak,

and the kindness you showed me,

all became a part of my life.

As you unfolded yourself to me,

i discovered more and more beauty.

i have never seen so much

gentleness in one person.

Without even knowing it,

you were slowly making a place

for yourself in my heart.

it used to seem so hard at times

to feel so close in a relationship.

But it’s so easy to feel close to you.

i can’t tell you how nice that feels.

i realize now that I had never known

what it meant to be loved

until I was loved by u.

Answer 6

Everyone's told you how much they loved it...so here's the other side of the coin:

1. It is a love letter, not a poem...but that doesn't mean it's not a good love letter...it's actually quite sincere and I'm sure she'll love it.

2. Never...and I mean "NEVER" call her "u"...if she is that important to you...unless this is a little inside "pet name" kind of term, give her all the letters she deserves: "you"...don't write her name in small letters...don't say "i"...you're a man, and strong is not the opposite of gentle, because strong men "are" gentle...but have enough self-respect and self-worth to put yourself in captials..."I".  It's not a small thing, and I'm not judging you or trying to pick on you...I'm trying to pass on something that may make a difference to you some day.  

Your letter is a good one, the reason it isn't a poem is because you didn't use any poetic devices other than to  break it up into lines and stanzas...that isn't enough.  But there is beauty in prose, and your letter is beautiful...it's just not a poem...and no, not even a poetic narrative..but I still think you should give it to her and I'm sure she'll love it (just change the "i" and the "u"...trust me on this).

...and because you have an open heart...don't give up on trying to write poetry...just keep writing
