Kevin's history with Sophie
Kevin and Sophie's history is a long and winding romantic road. They were a childhood couple and Kevin's first love. They later married when they were very young, but Kevin was unfaithful, and they divorced. Despite trying to reunite several times over the years, they have not been able to make it work—until now.
In the episode "The Night Before the Wedding," Kevin and Sophie are both attending Kate's wedding. Sophie arrives without her husband, Grant, and without her luggage, including her dress for the wedding. Kevin and Sophie embark on a spontaneous adventure to find a dress for Sophie to wear to the wedding. They visit a local laundromat and find a beautiful green dress—the same one Sophie ends up wearing.
Kevin and Sophie catch up and discuss the changes in their lives. Sophie reveals that she is now divorced from Grant and is working as a traveling nurse near Berlin. Kevin acknowledges that Sophie seems happy and on a good path. The pair steal longing glances at each other and later end up in Kevin's hotel room, where they rekindle their romance.
However, Sophie begins to worry that Kevin is in love with a past version of her, and she leaves his room. Kevin and Sophie's reunion is further complicated by the presence of two other potential love interests for Kevin: Cassidy, his friend with benefits, and the wedding singer, Arielle. Despite these other options, it seems that Kevin and Sophie are destined to give their relationship another chance, as they have history and chemistry, and many fans are in favor of them getting back together.

Kevin's poem
The poem, along with the other clues, narrows the candidates down to three women: his ex-wife Sophie, his plus-one Cassidy, or the wedding singer, Arielle. The poem, in particular, hints at a romantic connection with Sophie, as it is a valentine addressed to her.
However, it is important to note that the poem is not the only factor in Kevin's decision. The episode also explores his interactions with all three women, including a spontaneous adventure with Sophie, a conversation about songwriting with Arielle, and a heartfelt talk with Cassidy, who has been a good friend and occasional romantic partner.
In the end, despite the poem being a significant gesture, it is unclear if it is the sole reason for Kevin's choice. The decision to end up with Sophie is influenced by their shared history, chemistry, and fan support for their reunion.
