I Never Knew

I Never Knew

I never knew

I never knew how much you made my heart sing and my tears fly away

Swept up like raindrops of yesterday

I never knew how much holding you close made me warm

Even in the throes of a storm

I never knew my heart could love so much and never run afraid

Until I had all the memories we made

I never knew we had a song or a special place

Back when we were lost in space.

I never knew

I never knew all these things about you

And in seconds

Minutes

Hours

A single word stabbed apart our connection

Like pulling off the petals of flowers

I never knew

Now

I wish I had

I never knew
