This was actually a song that I decided is, well....a poem.

Now

The day I met you,
I knew I'd love you.
Since you left me,
I've had no other.
The only truth I know, is I don't know you now.
The times you held me
and stood beside me.
The words you told me,
I took inside me.
The only difference is, I don't know you now.
I can see it in your eyes,
feel it on your skin-
the spark I made is gone
that lit your fire within.
The only choice we have
is to love again; so I can know you now.
Let us sing in lover's past,
burn our fears away-
to show what love can be
and live another day.
But when the smoke has cleared
and tomorrow becomes today,
once again your feelings start to fade away.
Look into my eyes
and please just try to say....
I want to know you now.
I know I love you now.
I think I know you now.

This is really beautiful...I'm happy you posted it.  It really makes sense in a lot of relationships, or at least when they end.  Keep writing!

Songs are words set to music, but poems are words that create their own music. And this is a beautiful poem, my friend.
