I Knew The Day We Met by wharlzywee(m): 7:36pm On Oct 09, 2013
I knew the day we met
That we were meant to be
I knew our fate was set
That you were the one for me
I didn't even know you
I only knew your name
I wasn't sure what to do
I didn't know who to blame
I knew I thought you attractive
I could tell that you were nice
The butterflies were so active
That I couldn't think twice
Everything I did that day
Didn't show you who I am
Every time you came my way
My heart began to ram
My actions weren't natural
My reactions weren't real
I felt so very terrible
But my heart I did not wield
And when the group said
goodbye to me
My eyes were fixed on you
I knew I was trying to see
If you felt the same way too
I liked you when I saw your face
But maybe it was the touch
My heart had begun to race
I already liked you too much
I knew the day we met
That we were meant to be
I knew our fate was set
As friends, as lovers, as enemies

Wow 33lines? That's in my view too long. It would have been nice to see it divide into stanzas or made shorter.
Your punctuation need work too.
Your ending (my opinion) is what I enjoyed the most.

"I knew our fate was set
As friends, as lovers, as enemies"
its like saying, she is a stranger, who will become your friend, then you'll get closer to become lovers, in which you know you'll break her heart (or cause some form of hatred) and become enemies. But either way you'll do it all the same.
You should also try to be consistent with your message. In line 4: "That you were the one for me" so if she is the one for you, why would you become enemies?
Line 3: "I knew our fate was set"
line 32: "I knew our fate was set". Which fate should we uphold? One can only have one fate.

Nice write up though.
