I never met you,
But my soul knows who you are;
I hear the cries of your heart
The longing of your soul.
I never met you,
But somehow I know you.
I feel the sweetness of your dreams,
And the sad truth when you're awake.
And the sad truth when you're awake.

Yes, I have never seen you,
But I could see the pain through your eyes;
I feel the wetness of your tears.
I never hugged you,
Though I feel the coldness of your body;
Your longing for human contacts.

I never heard your voice,
Somehow I can hear you begging;
Begging for attention and love.
Why do I know you so well?
But I never met you?
Why do I feel your pain?
Answer me, my dear;
Was I supposed to find you?
Was I supposed to help you?
Was I supposed to love you?

ReplyDeleteA brilliant poem, I love it, who wrote it?
Thank you so much Bereket Decor. I am your biggest fan as well. I hope I will be able to inspire others as much as you do. I wrote the poem...
DeleteThis is a wonderful poem with many possibilities for interpretation. On one hand it gives me a sense og seeking after divine power and spirit which is hidden in the person and difficult to grasp. I never met you,
ReplyDeleteBut my soul knows who you are; that sounds too religious and spiritual.Because our soul usually sense the Almighty God. On the other hand it shows the mysticism of love that a lover is always after the beloved eventhough the beloved doesn't open its emotions and feelings. The romantic side of the poem is that the lover is a die hard lover who never give up loving without demanding the other part to show its feelings. I love it!!!!! Leoul Mekonen
Wow! what a beautiful comment. I love how you analyzed that. Yes I guess it can go either way. When I was writing the poem I had a homeless person in my mind, but once I finished it I was actualy surprised by how it turned out...who knows what I was thinking subconsciously:).Thanks for a very thoghtful insight.
