Not bad. In some places I feel like you’re reaching, you know, trying to hard to find something to fit properly. “Peaceful as a hidden cove,” for example, seemed out of place.
I liked the love theme in general, except when you get into “I need you, I want you” – that starts to get more possessive than in-love-ly.
What I liked the most was the lines that are reminiscent of the Cure. I’m a fairly big Cure fan, even though I only have the greatest hits, and the “deep as I mushy/inside all gushy” especially hit me as Cure-esque. Just be careful that you don’t overuse lines like that, otherwise it gets messy and kind of kitsch. You seem to have a pretty good rein on that.
So overall I liked it, it was fairly original – keep going. Expand.
