Unreal Meaning

Unreal Meaning

I know you.
I remember everything about you.
Everything you ever called me,
Every conversation we've had,
Every time I got close to you.
And you don't know me.
You don't know who I am.
You don't even know my name.
Yet, for almost a year,
We saw each other everyday.
We stood next to each other,
Never exchanging a glance,
Or saying one word.
In fact, it has been years
Since I last spoke to you,
Since I last heard your voice
And knew you were talking to me.
There was just one problem:
We weren't ourselves.
We didn't talk person to person.
A fictional conversation
In more ways than one.
Real words, with an unreal meaning.
And after all of this
I have never felt closer to you.
It's like you can hear me,
Though you're far from this place.

I guess I'm one of the lucky few,
of those who are privileged
to grow up a short mile
from the only one
I will ever love.
