Precious

I never imagined
You’d be so valuable 
I never thought
I would never endure it 
I never believed 
Until I truly lived it
I never put in mind
Or mistaken my calculations
In any chance
You would leave
I never lost you
Until I really felt it 
I never missed you
Until I truly admit it
I never thought
That I would never find
A bandage that truly closes the cut
Your preciousness arrived me
Knocking, slowly, quietly 
Until it knocked down the door 
How precious you are, I really felt it 
When you left me behind
I’m sure you’d say
I never lost you
But then I would say
But neither do I still have you…
