You never knew me

You never knew me 

You never got to know me

By the time I was free to be myself 

You were long gone 


Distance is a wall

And silence builds it brick by brick 

And now, where are we standing? 


Between gaps in time


The words always come too late


Oh how I wanted to show you

All that I am, all I have to give 

For all the love you had for me

You barely even knew me 

You only caught a glimpse 


You never knew me
