Only you,
My heart does see,
My dreams came true,
The one for me.

Since I was small,
I've had a need,
To learn to fall,
My urge to feed.

And everyday,
I can feel,
All you say,
Is always real.

Now I stand,
With anxious want,
Just hold my hand,
Now minutes taunt.

My thoughts, for you,
A soul to match.
In all you do,
A perfect catch!

it isn't cheesy, the short lines you used here made the flow nearly perfect, i liked this piece a lot.  i almost didn't open it because of the french title, i'm failing that subject horribly.  anyway, great job, keep writing.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Not cheezy Jenn.  Nice job.  I know you hate restricting yourself with rhyme and such but you did a good job on this one.
I loved it

Thanks guys!!!
Well, as to the french title, it's a secret between him and I. Sort of an inside joke.  

I'm glad you liked it!!!

Oh yeah, you're cheesy! lol jk

The last stanza is just so sweet. The french title is cool. That is about the extent of my French so it's good you didn't write the whole thing in French.

A French obsession compels me; please forgive my passion:

Seulement toi,
Ce que mon coeur voit,
Mes rêves se realisent,
Ceci pour moi.

Depuis mon enfance,
J'ai un tel besoin,
d'apprendre à tomber,
Mon urge à nourrir.

Et tous les jours,
Je sens,
Tous ce que tu dis,
C'est toujours vrai.

Maintenant je suis debout,
Avec un désir anxieux,
Que tu me tienne la main,
Maintenant les minutes raillent.

Mes pensées, pour toi,
Une âme qui va ensemble,
Dans tous ce que tu fais,
Un accord parfait!

Ok, it's out of my system now.  I've been trying to refrain from French in my poetry, but thanks for the outstanding title!

Great work Jenn!  And great French OOC!  ( showoff)
I think you should ask OOC for persmission to alternate a bit with stanzas in here... maybe the two of you could collaborate or something on a French AND English version, with alternations between the languages?  If OOC would put rhyme to his/her part that would make it even better.

I wonder who this is about!  

Well done. I enjoyed this poem....and the french version....erm....yea that one too.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
