What you allow will continue.


I never knew you

We may have not intervened with each other

Discussing the tough roads of life

Sure, we never spoke about our life stories,

and did not laugh until we cried

We did not stupidly believe that money was our failure to popularity,

and we never cried together,

and with the defined meaning that we never knew each other

but we managed to sculpt ourselves from society,

and praying in the cathedrals built out of love and blood

We never traveled together and took the high road in life

 

 

But, while celebrating our journeys in life

I wish we would have, but seldom were my dreams

That you were even out there

I did and do not know you

We never felt the inconsistent waves of our well beings

The way friends often do

We never laid the burdens of anger upon each others crosses

Hoping that we could take care of one another

I did not know you

We never dreamt together about a better youth

Hoping for a new way of life

Never did we trade stories

Like boys do football cards

Because we were playing our own game

 

 

We never danced to endless amounts of music
Or ran away to random towns,

but seldom were the times I took a pause to think about you

Only if I had known you

 

Until now I only have the slight idea

That you breathed the air I do

The fact we never crossed paths

Makes me want to know more about you

Once or twice did I think

How lost I must have been

To never have known you

To never call you a friend

 

So please do so

Excuse me for my ignorance

Excuse me for the fact that I didn't know you exist

Sleep now, dear spirit,

knowing now upon your death

I would ave enjoyed your ever- lasting company,

and to have called you a friend
