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.
