You and I

Through trials; you and I.
Even though I have never known you;
I know your fret; same as mind.
Your hurt is my compassion; my soul aches.
Yet, I never knew your name, your smile or laugh.
Your presence is with me day and night;
yet my eyes have not seen your face.
You are every part of me;
the air you once breathe; I now breathe.
A faint difference, I breathe with ease.
Not looking over my shoulder;
fear no more, it was removed.
You have carried it away from me;
trusting never to return;
if so; you will be here.
