Valentine's Day
Roses are red
 Violets are blue
 Flowers are sweet
 And so are you
 
 The grass is green,
 The sky is aquamarine
 The snow is pristine
 And you’re never mean
 
 While dolphins are gray
 And fish are rainbow
 You are beautiful
 You’re smile makes me explode
 
 The music you make
 Is always in style
 ‘Twill never be ancient
 Unlike the Nile
 
 All the cheerleaders
 Have tons of school spirit
 But no one compares to you
 You exceed the limit
 
 When I got lost
 The world looked gloomy
 But when you held me
 The scene became heavenly
 
 Even though on the news
 All they talk about are the blues
 Some try to solve it with booze
 But you could solve them and snooze
 
 When people need help
 You are the first to jump
 You make it so they get an A
 And you don’t care about any speed bump
 
 Unlike the regular teen
 Your life’s not about your phone
 Instead it is about family
 Your true colors are shown
 
 You never lie
 And you never cheat
 You are a role model
 You’re truly elite
 
 You’re a really good friend to anyone
 You probably are the best
 If someone was going through a hard time
 You’d calm ‘em down; I am impressed
 
 You really are bold
 And always speak your mind
 But even when you sound hurtful
 You make it sound kind
 
 While everyone surrounds you
 Doing their drugs
 You solve all their problems
 By giving them hugs
 
 On the floor
 When you dance
 Everyone stares
 You put them in a trance
 
 All the mistakes you make
 They don’t bring you down
 Instead you learn from them
 And gain an upside-down frown :)
 
 You don't drink
 Have been sober forever
 And when offered a shot
 You always say, “Never!”
 
 When someone looks at you
 With disgust and hatred
 You just smirk at them
 Until it has ended
 
 When your ex broke up with you
 You weren’t consumed by tears
 You were strong, you stood
 And you faced your fears
 
 You are a dare devil
 You’re truly fearless
 Always taking risks
 But never too careless
 
 You listen to your heart
 Which most people don’t do
 You follow it anywhere
 Even if you get a tattoo
 
 If you died young
 You’d be missed
 I’d never forget
 the last time we kissed
 
 Happy Valentine’s Day!

Sorry about those confusing parts.
So parts nearly rhymed, but didn't, but they sounded cool, so I kept them.
As for the hurtful, I was kinda going for what you said, but I didn't know how to phrase it.
Anyway, thanks for the support and feedback, Twinn and Tatiel ;D
Like Twinn said, this is so fun and happy! I love it. =) I like how you switch between rhyming patterns at random places.
One thing I would be careful of is making all the rhymes perfect. In one place, the rhyme was a little bit off (I think you rhymed rainbow with explode). Because everywhere else in the poem, the rhymes are perfect, that one spot really sticks out.
Also, in one spot, you say, "But even when you sound hurtful / You make it sound kind" That's kind of a contradition...and it is a little confusing. Maybe change it to something like, "But even when it should be hurtful / You make it sound kind" or something like that. =)
Other than that, I really enjoyed this! Hehe, a lot of the poetry on here is rather dark and depressing, my own stuff included XD This was a lovely break from that! =)
Thanks.
I just wrote what i thought. Flow just sort of happened, although I did make sure at least every other line rhymed
