How do you know who I am after talking on a phone all tho we live so far away?How do you know me? Baby after we talk I love you and you say it to, even tho we never meet .How could we know we feel this way? I see I have a question to ask but who to? I guess I must just come out and ask ... Nobody answers.I'll ask again ... Nobody seems to know . I guess I know now who to ask ... Baby how do you know you love me?As I wait I feel as if she dosen't know then she says it dosen't matter I just do.
p.s. tell me if i made any mistakes and how to fix them if you would

This isn't even formatted correctly... Wow...

EDIT 1:
Did you ever stop to think,
That maybe a poem isn't prose?
Maybe a poem looks like this?
Try hitting the enter key next time,
And maybe it will look right.

Like Josh said, this isn't formatted correctly..
Even though a poem can be totally free verse is still should match the usual format.
Poems also should have a sort of flow, even reading this like a poem it does not contain any flow to it what so ever.
Where are your descriptions? This simply seems like you are talking to someone, like a letter.
Make us feel the emotions you are feeling, a poem should express something, whether it be a story or an emotion.
Work on using more of a vocabulary that makes it original to you. Many times people can write poems well but they conatain no originality.
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to be contructive here, this poem isn't you. You should make it your own.
Try reading some poems from well known authors, you can google them simply enough. Try maybe looking up a few practices to help develope the skill.
Don't get me wrong the message is very good, but we need to see why it is YOUR poem and how it expresses a thought or feeling of your own.
