The One I Never Met
The One I Never Met
I never met you.
I dreamed of you for so long—
You knew that.
That dream was a secret only we could share.
So many nights you were in my belly, my arms, your crib,
I woke up to find you weren’t there.
My life is full and rich now,
Yet the fact still remains—
There’s a hole in my heart because you’re not here.
I don’t know where you are.
I would’ve loved you—
I do love you.
You are haunting me.
It’s exhausting me.
I wish you would just stop.
But I know you can’t help it,
We are both lost.
I will hold you in my heart, my soul.
It’s the burden I bare—
The only secret we’ll ever get to share.
I know what your name would have been.
I promise I will remember it.
