I Knew You Well

I knew your dreams Because we used to talk For hours at a time. I knew your friendship Because you were always there When I needed your comfort. I knew your pain Because you trusted me enough To share your past with me. I knew your fears Because you helped me To see that mine were the same. I knew what was important to you Because you were always So honest with me. I knew your goals Because I felt the enthusiasm In your words when you talked of them. I knew your guidance Because you patiently explained The things I didn't understand. I knew your heart Because I saw right into it And felt it a part of my own. I knew your honor Because you let me go When I fell in love with you. And I knew your love Because you wouldn't let me dream of us together.
