First off, when I read the title I was like this is contradicting itself isn't it? But as I read on I understood why you wrote that, a very entrancing write. :)

"You took me by surprise
-- I didn't think I'd fall in love,
and with the chance that I had given
found I couldn't get enough;
it took this chance for me to see
the two of us were meant to be.
At first, I didn't think we'd last
but now I am rethinking that."

Excellent opening, bringing the reader very much into this piece. I love how you say how surprised you were by her, and how you thought your love wouldn't last, but you are now thinking over what you said. Wonderful wording, straight from the heart.

"You swept me off my feet,
and yet you caught me in your arms,
and so the risk I took was worth it
'cause it didn't cause me harm;
In fact, I'm proud of my decision
- to give life with you a try,
for I'd be missing out on quite a lot
if I had passed you by."

Awwww...this shows what a treasure she is, that the risk you made was completely worth it, because you didn't get hurt or heartbroken. This stanza really shows how much she has changed your life, and what your relationship has brought in your life to you.

"It's all in how we play the game,
and dear, you play it well
for you've completely swooned me into love;
to buy all that you sell.
And I'm surprised how satisfied I am
with you here, by my side.
I wouldn't want it any other way
... the way we are is right."

Great emotions flowing through this piece, giving me a sense of what's going on and this is so real when I read it. What a connection you both have together.

"All that I have to say to you
{whose eyes scan down this page}
is that it isn't always fair to judge someone by just their face
because there's so much more inside
that makes a person truly shine,
and if you never look, you'll never see
how perfect little flaws can be."

What true words, this ending stanza made me think and you got your point across ever so clearly. You are very right, what is inside of a person is what makes them who they are. Nice job, this was a joy to read from start to finish! 5/5 from me, take care.

I would agree this isn't your best write ... but i loved the genuine feeling behind each line...
and I loved the title also ...

"because there's so much more inside

and if you never look, you'll never see
how perfect little flaws can be."

^^ so true indeed... when you love some one or when a person is beautiful from inside ,the little flaws don't matter ... they besome invisible... but how many times do we actually try to look inside a person...

beautiful write...

Stephen,

This poem shows sincerity and I think you wrote it really well.
I love the message that is in it: don't judge a book by it's cover...so true:)

In fact, I'm proud of my decision
- to give life with you a try,
for I'd be missing out on quite a lot
if I had passed you by
