Who Knows

When we go, we will never know, what we don’t know,

 We will never know, that this kiss, was, the last kiss,

We will never know, that this goodbye, was, the last goodbye,

We will never know, who was sorry, or, if we were sorry,

We will never know, what we, or they, meant to say,

 We will never know, that those left behind, do know, and will know,

Until they themselves, do go.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
