    Watch "your" vs. "you're" as well as "their" vs. "they're".... I noticed a few times you mixed those up.

    I love how you introduce each stanza with the qualities of this person and also how you can be with them, natural, able to speak to them about any doubts or fears, and overall, the sacrifice between you two.... willing to die for the other.

    The phrase of "growing old together" is so endearing and what I dream of too! It's truly beautiful and shows how that love has grown steadfast.

    Simply worded with a good flow for rhyming... sometimes I do think rhyme restricts and that a few stanzas here were a bit cliche in the expressions people share like "cry me a river", etc, but my only other suggestion would be to keep writing, feel free to step outside your comfort zone and think outside the box every one in a while.... even adding specifics or unique things only you see in this person would make it more your own and add emphasis to this special love.

    Otherwise, the emotion was very clear and present. Good job.

    "You can always to talk to them"

    ^^^^ the "to" before "talk" should be taken out and I agree with the other, watch those. They're always tricky.

    I love rhyming poems and yours flow so well and I love it really. Definitely interesting.

    I like the who message. Finding that one person that does all of that to you and you know you're in love. The title captures that very well. Everyone sees "The One" as someone who makes them complete and does all of the things you stated so it works really well.

    Very easy to relate to. I've found someone who does all of these things and when you have that person, the words speak so much louder.

    Nicely written.

    It is a really nice poem, I believe everyone above caught the errors they saw. I felt that the final stanza could have been a little better, it doesn't seem to end right.
