I was, I am, Am I?

I met you once, as all meetings are;
Yet I felt as if I had known you.
You came to be "the one I flirted with";
but you wanted so much more.
His death sucked you in, but opened you up to me;
We started talking about deeper subjects than vectors and momentum.
I took you out, showed you a great time, asked you a question, and got the answer I was looking for.
For two weeks I moved to cloud nine with you by my side.
I was happy.
Endless conversation filled our mouths, endless adoration filled our hearts.
A month later I looked in your eyes and said three words I had never knew I could; which echoed from your heart.
I gave you myself, you didn't take me for granted.
I was happy.
Our love grew by the day, until one day it hit a wall; neither of us saw it, neither of us could recover.
We tumbled down a staircase that had no floor.
We managed to gain balence in time for me to leave.
I longed for you, I got you back, I left again.
I was faithful, I dreamt of you constantly, I came home to pile of sweats covering a loving woman.
I was happy.
Our love soared once more, twice as much as before.
I was happy.
The wall came again, but seemed to cycle more rapidly.
A roller-coaster would have been kind.
I got an elevator stuck in the basement.
I pushed you away, I didn't realize it, I wish I hadn't.
I was ashamed.
You were loyal, bless you, but you have your limits.
It was supposed to be a happy night, it turned into a dreadful night.
I came close to losing you, you came close to losing me.
I thought it was better, 4 days of good.
I was happy.
I left again, I really wish I hadn't.
He was alone, he was vulnerable, he was there when you needed him.
He was the better man of the moment.
I came home, not to the pile of sweats, to a stranger, one who had amnesia, one who didn't know she loved me.
I was sad.
You pushed me away, you didn't realize it.
I was mad.
I loved, I loved with both our hearts, it still wasn't enough.
Now we are here, a place I don't know, a place I want to leave.
I am...

OUCH MY HEAD HURTS!

Man, this "thinking" stuff is painful work!  
ehehe, seriously, you have a great title, its what drew my attention, the poem was really deep, somewhat creepy (not a bad thing!)  One suggestion, break it into stanzas (I.E., little cute paragraph type thingies, makes it easier to read), anywho great job and welcome to our
"A home without a wall,
Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!"

A fantastic title. some very interesting images, and metaphors. well writing, I agree with Deranger stanza form would help, other than that really enjoyed the poem.
