Messy poem, huh? The structure isn't quite that messy, but you definitely are overusing the word 'you' if you didn't notice. The first stanza makes me laugh for some reason, I don't know why. Maybe it's because I love the sarcasm, or perhaps because you are stating the obvious (because only an idiot would read something that's on fire) . Maybe addressing the person without actually saying 'you' would work much better. Such as in the second stanza. You can rephrase it perhaps, even make a new phrase like 'a year-long love letter' or something. The last stanza doesn't really suit the poem. It is too weak for a such a sarcastic, unrequited love poem. Either re-think it or delet it. Overall, I love the first stanza.
