To The Greatest Love I’ve Never Known 2.13.99 I stand before you, but in spirit, for you’re nowhere to be found, and I type these empty words that fall to empty walls. Can I find you? Will I find you? Time can only tell. I won’t be swayed by the bleakness and the words that say I won’t. I am driven by this passion for a love I’ve never known. Yet I follow with my dreams of grandeur ‘cause I feel I’m almost there. Almost sad, but then not quite, I find comfort in your being. If you’re somewhere, and you’re someone then I guess it’s just a wait. Listening, all the things gracing me with their sounds Tic-tocking, bells chiming four sticks and then again. Sunrise and sunset High tide, and then low candelight to warm sunlight and still no word from you. Maybe words have left no meaning in this lovely world of mine filled with laughter, and with smiles ‘cause the sunshine’s not my own. Do you wonder why you find me writing letters though you’re gone? Maybe gone is not the answer, maybe here you’ve never been? Funny how I find redemption in the thought that you’re not here For that moment that I find you just might find me overjoyed. Do I know you? Do you know me? Maybe that’s what we should ask. Childhood, adolescence, maybe that’s when we first met? And to think that I may find you miles and years from those days of old. I don’t know why I feel the urge to write to you maybe hoping that you’ll read this in a sometime close to now. I know your spirit and your beauty and I don’t doubt they’re beyond compare so I raise my glass of wine and drink to the greatest love I’ve never known.
