What terrible words you wrote
My dear
How hard your few words are
To hear
And still I cry just to have
You near

Now my imagination
Provides
Helpfull litte self serving
White lies
I just meditate on your
Blue eyes

True eyes

I still look for you honey
Not there
I'm glad you read my letters
Don't care
And you know where I'll be
Be where

Hey B3!  "Be Where" --> I like the play on words here.  

"Blue eyes

True eyes"  
--> I like the rhyme and the spacing.  

As for the rest of the poem, I like the rhyme scheme you have going on, but I think you could strengthen some of the imagery/wording.  For example, "I still look for you honey" -- this is nice, but the word "honey" takes away...it just seems very cliche.  Trust me, I hate hearing the word "cliche" and it always pops up in poetry forums, but I just thought I'd try and help.  Overall, I think this poem has a lot of potential, and I enjoyed it!

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
