Lonely for love, longing for life
Fighting the hardness, battling the strife
Romance is your icecream, and you like it in any flavor
You like honesty, and good taste, these you do savor
The wind blows a stranger your way
To write you a poem and brighten your day
A true friend is what you really need
For this, a friend, your heart does plead
Searching and searching for someone to talk to
Someone who will listen, someone who needs too
Why did you pick me tonight, these words you said
I needed a friend to talk to, before I go to bed
Day after day and night after night
We meet together and share our lives and our plight
Questions and questions and questions galore
So many, and so different, and you just want more
About kids and family, animals and homes
About the our daily lives, our youth, or just being alone
Attitudes and actions pass over the screen
Hints of style... use of words... even our dreams
Walking down a beach, and skating along the streets
With a breeze in our hair, smelling seafood waft through the air
Oh how wonderful, it is to get to know a friend
To share experiences, hoping it will not end
Its like walking down a street that you had never been before
Seeing the sights, hearing the sounds, going through each store
Whats on your mind today, you do ask me with glee
How are you, and hows yours day, would you like to walk with me
Let us take a stroll together, even though for a short time
And tell each other how weve been, and whats been on our mind
On and on, shall we walk, until our ways do part
May our friendship, bring us joy and gladness to our heart
May we remember, the kind, kind words, each of us may say
As we go this lifes journey, As we walk along the way
Keep Writing
Read lots of sonnets - for rhymed word acquisition lexicon. Your 1234 is called iambic pentameter. Most contemporary lyrics are in that meter. "do" and "does" is distracting.

Friend-Talk
.
I want to be in love
share my walks,
meet and discretely share,
talk to warmth before I sleep.
.
I want to see a different face
The mirror is too cold.
Lives shared is what makes
me smile.
.
I want alone to morph
and double. Trouble is
I have not met you yet.

There is good advice in the
There is good advice in the comment from Allets. Definitely lose the grammatical dinosaur called the "Do-Does-Did." Sinnets from all sorts of poets are well worth your study. Perhaps, also, look at Estlin Cummings' use of scatter rhyme as a way to losen the stiffness of the Petrarchan sonnet, and as a way to use enjambment to your poems' distinct advantage.
