i.

he's the type of boy to run away with;
wide eyes, hopeful smile
you accept his request to dance
lose yourself in quick steps, effortless twirls---

sometimes, he falls flat on his face
needs your grip for support
sometimes, it's him that holds you;
and he'll never let you fall

it's only when faced with losing him
when you realise you've fallen hard

Truth on relationships. The imagery is great. I would prefer a rhyme scheme, but that is all personal preference when it comes to poetry. This is a great and entertaining poem and don't let anyone's opinions sway your style unless it's a legitimate criticism, like grammar errors or falling out of form (which is impossible with free verse. Keep on writing away.

Thank you - fair enough with your opinion; I don't rhyme things often with poetry, but that's mostly because then I stress over making it all rhyme. Some people are phenomenal at rhyming - me, not so much. Depends on the day :) But thank you for your lovely words.
