This is my first true form poem, a villanelle. Three tercets and a quatrain, aba rhyme, and the first and last line in the first stanza gets repeated as the ending alternating in each following stanza ending with a quatrain in ab with the refrain. That was a horrible explanation but you can google it.

Villanelle

I know right now you're here with me,
by the hold of a lovers embrace.
But you'll be back with him someday,

and anyone would agree.
But underneath the blankets lace,
I know right now you're here with me.

As I closed my eyelids softly,
I fell asleep, and saw his face.
You'll be back with him someday.

Pushing it out of memory,
as we drift far off into space,
I know right now you're here with me.

As lucky now as I could ever be,
before you fall from grace.
You'll be back with him someday.

I wonder if I'll ever see
that this is always is the case.
I know right now you're here with me,
but you'll be back with him someday.
