My love, My pain

in these lines: I found you in the arms (of another)
Those arms that once caressed me now hold another
instead of the repetition, try: (I found you in the arms of someone new)

these are my favorite lines:
Love of my life,
You told me your name, I told you mine
You gave me your sweet words, I gave you smiles
You gave me butterflies, you gave me smiles
You promised me your heart, I promised you mine

I liked them best because they flowed well and spoke of such happiness.

The main functions of repetitions in poetry are to emphasis on a particular point. It makes it easier to understand. It brings the meaning, theme into some sense of focus.

But it can also create a sense boredom and complacency. But it can also incite enchantment and inspire bliss.

Beautifully crafted!

have recieved some good advice; you can use any or all of it or even a combination of it all. The pain of heartbreak!
I would use the word [looking] instead of scouting

I wouldn't use the word [another] so close to where you used it last
instead I might use [her] like this: Those arms that held me, now hold her

Delete the word [once] it doesn't add anything to the line in either spot.
