    To know you

    To know you now, is to know you then
    …even if I didn’t.

    I thought I did, but now..
    I’m certain that I didn’t.

    I felt the love, the way you wanted
    until,
    I just…didn’t.

    It hurts my heart,
    what I thought was you and now I see isn’t.

    To know you now, is to accept
    what I didn’t see
    what I wouldn’t hear before…

    and wonder if you can finally feel
    all that is unspoken…
    forevermore.

    To know you now, is to long for all that could be…should be
    that and so many memories more…

    But in the end,
    to know you saved me
    and also crushed me to my core.

      Amanda, this poem is so heartfelt and honest. Sometimes the people we think we know best end up being strangers and our hearts are left to deal with the aftermath. Sometimes we are too blinded by love to see reality. Thank you for sharing this poignant experience.
