What did you do
that made me fall
so hard for you?

What did you say
to me on that
most fateful day?

What did I do
that hopefully could
have impressed you?

Did I say
anything to help
you to feel that way?

Will I ever have a chance
to make my feelings
turn into a romance?

~Kristi Lynn

angel: this a very heartfelt and very good poem, but i feel that the 4th stanza is somehow out of place... i just dont feel like that's what you meant to say... it seems to interrupt the strong feelings of the poem ("fall hard", "Fateful", "hopeful") and bring in this feeling of flaccidity ("okay")... you might want to work on that stanza a bit and bring it up to par with the others... aside from that i think you have a great poem here  

sincerely,
jerome the mysterious priest

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge

Look for more from you,

yeah, i pretty much dug the poem too, love.  a good love poem is refreshing, bu ti'm gonna reiterate what jerome said, i think that fourth stanza just doesn't seem to fit,i think it would sound better if it was fixed.

Thanks for all of your replies.  I did change it, and I want to thank my friend Nate for giving me the idea.  Do you all think it's any better?  Let me know...

Very good poem. Refreshing. Brings be back to another time that seems so long ago even though it wasn't.

Again, thank you all for your replies.  It means a lot to know what people think of my poetry, especially since it's hard for me to put my feelings into words.
