We've never met

No, not even once

I've heard your tales

I wonder if you've heard mine.


Distance separates us 

Your absence is heavy

They've hid you for long enough

But now the light shines on you.


Will you greet me with open arms,

or a confused crease?

Will you approach me timidly,

or shy away with retreat?

Will you ask me my name,

or tell me to go away?

Will you remember me when I'm gone,

or forget me the next day?
