    A relationship 
    is as simple as locking 
    eyes with someone across 
    a crowded room. That beautiful 
    someone you imagine the rest 
    of your life with 
    for the rest of the day.
That's how I would do - just playing - much more to respond to in your post, of course, but not right now.

I know my line breaks are...well, "distinctive." They have been known to bother people. When they work, they really work. But for me the way I break the lines is often the only way TO break the lines. So I try and consider them part of my "style" and in the meantime try to learn more and experiment with them.

Edit: I know I have a tendency to write lines that drive up towards a tension and then break before the tension - the subject, perhaps? - resolves. I think that's what people don't like.
