Never Knew You

Never knew your birthdate Never knew your astrological sign Never knew where you were born Never knew your favorite movie Never knew your favorite song Never knew your favorite book Never knew your favorite author Never knew what pet you had as a child Never knew the name of your elementary school Never knew how many siblings you had Never knew what makes you cry Never knew who your heros were Never knew your dreams Never knew your fears Never knew your strengths Never knew some of your names You are just a number now A faceless, nameless person Like a forgotten ghost Who I do not even remember For if you know someone intimately You should know all of thse things about them But, when you are very young You do not think about the things That you do not know That might be important someday You live for the moment And when that is gone You are left with a list of names Of people who you should have known But, in reality do not have clue who they are In my reflection I can only say that I am sorry For I would think if I had it to do all over again That I would look into your eyes And listen to you To who you are To who you want to be To your loves To your hates Because even though many of you Did not care to know any more about me Than I wished to know about you I know that all people possess inner beauty And I could have found yours And we could have shared that Instead of just being a number on each other's list
