You looked into me and
Said it was your first time.
I told you I'd kiss you every
Time you closed your eyes.
You didn't respond, you just
Gave me a glance that said yes.
For a moment, you were the one.
For a moment, I knew we'd go on.
You were everything unharmed--
Beauty, miles away from jaded.
At the time, life was great, but even
A perfect moment is still a moment
And soon my cracks began to show.
You started to realize I lied.
You started to realize I was high.
Nine months down the line,
It was all said and done and
We both just moved on.
Now, I wish I would've been real.
Now, what happened is all too real.
Said it was your first time.
I told you I'd kiss you every
Time you closed your eyes.

Gave me a glance that said yes.

Nine months down the line,
It was all said and done and

This is really sad and I applaud you being honest about the fault and having remorse, it allows a sympathy for the lady and in turn for the protagonist.
has a nice beat to it that would make for good song lyrics.
last line, it should be "all too real"
probs a typo.
nice work

I like the honesty of this poem Hendrix, the bare truth.

"You looked into me and

You bring us into your moment in time with your words. Most writers, no matter how good, can not do this. excellent as always.
"You were everything unharmed--
Beauty, miles away from jaded."
Love!!!!!

A quick edit and review for your consideration - apply it to future work if you can see the benefit. There is an * near every line changed
You looked into me and
said it was your first time.
I told you I'd kiss you whenever * (avoiding repetition of 'time')
you closed your eyes. *
You didn't respond, you just
gave me a glance that said yes.
For a moment, you were the one.
For a moment, I knew we'd go on.
You were everything unharmed--
beauty, miles away from jaded.
Life with you was great, but even *
a perfect moment is still a moment
and soon my cracks began to show.
You started to realize I lied.
You started to realize I was high.
Nine months down the line,
it was all said and done and
we both just moved on.
Now, I wish I had been real. *
Now, what happened is all too real.
Comments: I have removed the caps from the start of every line. There is no wrong or right, although current 'trends' are towards this. Caps are kept for start of sentences.
"down the line" and "cracks began to show" and "all said and done" are all overused phrases. Try to come up with something of your own.
"beauty, miles away from jaded" is a wonderful line, elegant and saying so much with few words.
The honesty in this poem also attracts the reader.
