I've always been cautious
When it came to love
I've never been quick to just let it all go
To let all of my emotions show
But when I met you
All of this changed
I told you I loved you from the start
I quickly gave you all of my heart
You said that you returned my love
That you felt the same for me
But now I see that feeling's past
What you said was love did not last
I don't regret the love I gave
I don't wish we were meant to be
I'm just thankful for the first taste of love
That you gave to me

Nice!
Nice. Your rhyming is done pretty well, as is the poem overall. The rhythm was a little awkward at times, but the poem doesn't suffer. Good luck in the contest, and always keep writing! -

This poem nearly made me cry- thank you so much for entering my contest and know that your work has helped me out. -
Thanks for your kind comments. I live in Smithville, which you have prolly never heard of before because it's like a village. It's near Wooster, in Wayne County. Thanks again for commenting.
