I could really get into you
Easily love you even
But there are differences and
Friends can be cruel.
I could be your best friend
I could say it; just fill your ears
But with friendship comes trust
And you trust to easily
I could marry you
Live and thrive between the walls
But with love comes devotion
And you love to easily
I will not say goodbye
It would be the nice thing to do
But with nice, comes your smile
And I cry to easily

I like it...
It shows that the writer has compassion for the other person in a relationship, but can't force themselves to be sorry enough to give it up, because they know they aren't ready to commit as strongly as the other.
One criticism, there is one O in as, I did this [to] you, and two O's in me, [too].

Thank you. Glad you saw what this was. And I fixed the problem you mentioned. Thanks so much!
Over the years composing poems
I found that one should as far as possible avoid
and - but- if -so
these words add no beauty to poetry
yet appear as stones
not alongside the road
but right in the middle
Hope you will take care
I am grateful to you for all your guidance and time
Looking forwards to more interactions
I visited Illinois three times
wish I had then known you
I have now become your fan
two unique ones
Loved
Thank you. I see what you are saying. I purposely constructed this poem this way, like the word AND in front of the last line last three stanzas. Writing poetry for me is like assuming the characters body and brain, thoughts, feelings. It’s what an actor has to do in a movie. I want to become that person or feeling. I do not write literal. I know it bothers some writers. However, poetry is not English Comp. Some reviewers want you to write like it’s an essay. I gotta wonder what Edgar Allen Poe would have said with some of the reviews I have read. Lol!
Thank you so much for the great review and yes, I would have loved to know you when you were here in a Illinois. It’s too damn cold here to many of the year, but I can’t change that only where I hang a hat!
Keep writing my friend!
thanks my points were general
like jess says
do not use ellipses===(.............)
as a non poet
I am trying to pick up the nuances of poetry
I have by now composed over 15000 across the Internet
some are gems
diamonds
mostly Garbage
as you read me more you will come to know more or abhor
I am off the cuff poet
others read and edit
Thanks to Neo
