I Never Knew

I never saw the birds

Before you came along

And I never saw the stars.

I never felt the breeze

Or heard those birds’ songs.

And I never knew the stars

Could give such hope

And I never knew the breeze

Even less, spheres of plasma

Could move me; help me cope.

I never knew the breeze

Before the days turned blue.

And I never knew the birds

Or those stars or that breeze.

And I never knew you.
