Never Knew

i never knew.

i never knew what it was like.

i never knew what it was like for someone to care so much.

i never knew what it was like to have someone see you as you wished to be seen.

i never knew what it was like not to worry about being judged.

i never knew what it was like to be myself with someone at all times of everyday.

i never knew what it was like to never have to worry about anything.

i never knew what it was like to truly know that everything was going to be okay.

i never knew what it was like to know you were always safe.

i never knew what it was like to know that you had a someone to listen no matter what.

i never knew what it was like to feel prettier than every other girl because you said so.

i never knew what it was like to believe every compliment and know you meant it.

i never knew what it was like to honestly be shown that you were all that mattered.

i honestly never knew,

until the day i met you.
