Sitting and talking was warm and comforting.  
 1
You talked me into a dream like state.
 2
 
 
As soon as we stopped it was like waking up on a cold morning and removing your comforter.
 3
I was cold, and chills were crawling up and down my spine.
 4
 
 
Later, all I could think of was you
 5
and your
 6
warm words.
 7
 
 
I repeat our conversation to my best friend,
 8
and she says I have
 9
tripped
 10
fallen
 11
and smashed
 12
into love.
 13
 
 
I think she is right.

but do you like the poem?
 — SweetPain

Since you are obviously reading this,
could you please tell me why you accused me of stealing your poem in the message board?

I would appreciate a reason. ^__^
 — Rhein

I am so sorry, really am. I Majorily overeacted when you posted the poem without giving credit to myself. I was under the impression you were taking the poem and remixing it for me. And when you posted your version I thought you were trying to pass this poem off as your own idea.  So I just took at as you stealing, this was all before you acknowledged me. I am so incredibly sorry and I felt terrible after posting in the forum. Also the comments that I did leave on your comment board were genuine. I am sorry and I wish you could forgive me.
 — SweetPain

It's fine. Apology accepted. I just wanted to know why. :/
 — Rhein

aWWWWWW.  THAT'S sweet.

Now...of course I like the poem.

Did I say anything to the contrary?
 — themolly

no i just thought you were focusing on the cheese , sorry :P. But thankyou Rhein and themolly!!
 — SweetPain

*dream-like

 — misspanda

aww thankyou misspanda and meaka!

I would make a couple of changes - Line 5, change after to later.  And put best in front of friend, don't separate it that way because it reads oddly.  Consider something besides sprawling in line 4 - makes me think of something lying hard and heavy all over you, instead of a light chill that gives you bumps.

Yes, there is a time for cheesy.  
 — Isabelle5

you like the changes Isabelle?
 — SweetPain

wow. pretty unique.  I love it.  I have a few suggestions.  Break line 5 up.  Start a new line after later.  And "all I could think of was you and your warm words" is a little awkward.  Try saying it differently.  And the last line is somewhat blatant and unnecessary.  I like it a lot nevertheless, and I just think that the first two stanzas are so good that you should make the rest of the poem as eloquent as the beginning.
 — OwlGirl

omygosh i love it....not cheesy at all.
i never felt this way with anyone but i can imagine it w/ this poem
thanks for the description....
 — Cherish

thanks for the pointers Owlgirl and im happy you enjoyed it Cherish!
 — SweetPain

Nice revisions, yes.
 — Isabelle5

:D
 — SweetPain

I like this. However, line 3 is too long, visually it doesn't work. Also stanza 3 is weak. Can you make it dreamier or more sharply reminiscent?  Line 8 is a bit long as well. You need a comma after tripped. I like "into love". The general feel of the poem is lovely.
 — catherine

line three is for the effect.
and i agree stanza 3 is weak.
got any suggestions?
