this is the first of your poems I have read. This is bittersweet-- you conveyed your feeling of being so close to someone without their physical presence. Nicely done!

I do not use the thermometer.

The loss of innocence and youth

is what I see so vividly described here. Very moving and interesting viewpoint. Thank you.

This...

...is the fourth poem of yours I have read recently, and I liked them all very much. I think your thought flow is excellent and your images very well-chosen. I see no reason for the two line extensions, and, unless they are simply formatting errors, I think they were poorly conceived. This:

your pants were on the living room floor

begging to be put on girl hips.

the small hole in the knee

from when they last wanted to hug my waist.

...needs editing (comma after 'hips'?), and the last line there could be improved, I think.

edit (heart-shaped + cross-legged) for hyphens.

You give every indication that you are on the verge of writing some exceptional poetry.
