Stopping at lines for poetry

maybe he was awed by the genius of the line

Only pseuds don't pause at the end of the lines. Words are ugly as fuck, and they only sound nice if you emphasize the meter.

Because they don't know how to read poetry?

But yeah, people have told me the same thing when I read verse.

How good did it feel to have a female talk to you OP, please explain

In lines...

if you're not meant to stop at the end of the line, why do they make a new line?

... depends on the punctuation? A lot of older verse has lines with commas and periods ending every line, but Shakespeare and many others have very enjambed lines. Follow the punctuation.

the end of line is specifically made to have a short stop, also some lines suppose a stop at the middle of it

but then, if it's written with a metre, you would assume those stops naturally even if you read the poem written in one line

Eyes connect, her body motions a demand for attention,
my heart stops a second, only to beat faster in an attempt to make up for lost time,
her lips move, those velvet words,
"Hey, do you know where Chad is?",
"I-I t-t-think he is over t-there, m-mylady"
