Unknown and Unseen


What do you say to the person you have waited so long for? So many thoughts want to try to come out at once, but what good does that do? Would they even understand a word you say?

 

It's like trying to say “ I'm here” knowing that you are invisible. But even worse it's knowing the person won't hear a word that you say. You would follow them to the ends of the world, but how can you love someone who doesn't love you back? Have you gone weak? How can we watch as they walk far away, and still be able to say “ There's always tomorrow." Though we all know that tomorrow is uncertain and not promised. To be seen by someone means so much, but to be known ...That means everything.
