new to poetry. Please read and tell me what you like and what you do not.

Our eyes caught across the room
We felt it from the start
Cupid wasted little time
His arrow found our heart

I just a young man
A young lady was she
Blinded by the love we felt
Our mistakes we could not see

Convinced we'd stay together
Through the sands of time
We shared our love and our lives
What was hers and what was mine

We spent many late nights talking
Until the roosters stir
Both of us forgetting
How young we really were

Then without a warning sign
A civil war had begun
We shouted words we did not mean
Until the evening sun

Now the sun is slowly setting
As the world it turns to dark
Our love once a roaring flame
Is now but a single spark

I hear her leave without a word
The door it slams behind
I try to run and stop her
But am trapped within my mind

The feelings that we once shared
Were almost all but lost
To turn back the hands of time
I would pay at any cost

Will I ever see my love again
That I do not know
Any sign of her return
It has yet to show
