Well, this is my second sonnet, it's kinda cheesy, but I hope you like it!

To You

You are the one I’ve longed for, for so long
Your eyes like stars have glistened from afar
Your voice so sweet sounds like a gorgeous song
No matter what you’ll be my shining star
I wish that you could know I love you so
When you are near I feel like I can fly
If only you were mine my face would glow
I’d soar above the clouds and touch the sky
The touch of your hand makes me want to melt
If only this dream did not have to end
I wish I knew exactly how you felt
All you have to do is let your arm extend
Together we would make the perfect pair
Without you in my arms it’s just not fair
