My Parallel

How can i hate you? 
I don't know you. 
Yet you have my parallel 
And own my envy. 

Maybe if i knew you 
I could see what he sees 
Understand why 
The potential can't be recognized. 

Actualised. 

Developed. 

Expressed. 

How i ache with confusion. 
Yet i know he won't reflect. 
So i ask you one thing, 
Cherish him and know this: his is a light you are lucky to bask in.
