All I can say is .. wow. That sounds like something really special that you two shared. I don't even know you and yet i'm proud of you for showing him you're poem. That must have took a lot of courage, and trust ... you two must have quite a good relationship.
I wouldn't worry too much about it going "back to normal" afterwards or anything ... it sounds as if that moment really meant a lot to the both of you, and it doesn't matter what happened afterwards ... just that it happened. Hold on to that. A connection like that with another human being, reaching that level of understanding and empathy...is what makes life real. And its moments like those that give you hope that what you are doing is worthwhile ... that you are doing something right. And hey, who doesn't like to feel like that
Anyhow, thats just my two cents.
Take care
