Zeide

I never saw you

Yet I feel like I've known you forever

I never heard your voice

Yet I feel like it's ringing clearly in my mind

I never spent time with you

Yet I heard about the special things you'd do

I never shared my joys and pains with you

Yet I know when I sing or cry, you do too

I never understood who you are

Until I lost someone I loved

Now I know that as much as I can't see you

You can see me

Now I know that I love you

Just as you love me
