She wanted nothing less yet nothing more
Would come of their unlikely rendezvous
She tried for an eternity, still for
His guarded heart she could not stand to lose
He knew his way around the girls and back
She might have been the first one he had loved
Still burdened by old baggage to unpack
Forever focused, keeping it all shoved
Her youthful gaze lit up his whole (small) world
A yellow sunflower in darkest fields
A prize he showed off prouder than a pearl
Together, perfect, could not be revealed
Impossibly remaining by his side
At times, love’s blinding trust is just too blind
APsolutely Trying My Hardest 
Nice Shakespearean Sonnet.
But really though, I think your sonnet is great. While it has the superficial meaning of a girl and a guy, it has a lot of complexity that can be unpacked from the girl’s personal and public life.

I very much enjoyed reading that. It flowed really well and the whole duality of the positive and negative being interwoven with one another was really well done. Like the line “A prize he showed off prouder than a pearl” was really neat since it’s like “Aww, he really cares a lot!” but also “Wait… she’s a prize to show off?”. Plus the last line really got me. Anyway, well done!
