Although We Have Never Met

I don’t think that I’m typically one to shy away from words and emotions that are my spoken truths but sometimes others have more adequate words to better express a sentiment or growing belief I have (so there’s a poem below to assist me). 

Although we have never met,

you have touched the very heart of my soul.

Your patience, love, and understanding

have carried me through some hard times.

You have been here for me when I needed you most.

Although you are a world away,

somehow we know each other in a way that really matters.

We are closer than most people who have met,

because we have taken the time to reach deep within ourselves

to know the person beyond the face.

It is truly what is on the "inside" that counts.

You are more than words on a screen.

You are an inspiration in times of need...

You give me hope when things seem lost...

You make me laugh, cry, listen and talk...

You make me think without saying a word.

In this vast world of silent talk,

although we have never met,

I have found a true "friend."       By Ayzha
