used to know

june.24.2002

I used to know your name,
but I never used it much.
I used to know your hands,
though I never felt your touch.

I used to know your words,
though I'd never hear you speak.
I used to know your strength,
but it always made me weak.

I used to know your heart,
but I never got inside.
I used to know the place,
that you'd always go to hide.

I used to know your love,
though I never felt so cold.
I used to know your hug,
though it wasn't me you'd hold.

I used to know so much,
but it didn't make it through.
I used to know my fear,
and that was how I had loved you.
