ok, your textarea has an id of topic, right? if u just give that id a margin top of any value it will be accepted and you'll have the desired space between the label and textarea.

like this : 

#topic{
  margin-top: 20px
}

it already has a margin bottom of 10px too.

hope it helps.

happy coding ;)
