The echo of someone I’ve never met, I Don't Know You Yet I Miss you


I don’t know you
but somehow,
I miss you.
Like I’ve known you
since forever.

Is it strange
that someone I’ve never met
feels like a memory
I’ve always cherished?

Is it just me,
or do you feel it too
The invisible thread
pulling us closer
through screens and silence?

Do you ever wonder
what it would be like
if we ever met?

Would we grow closer,
like the feeling suggests?
Would we recognize each other
by the way our hearts soften
or would we blink,
smile politely,
and walk away
like strangers after all?

Am I the only one
who longs to know the real you?
Or do I just miss the idea of you,
the version I’ve built
from echoes and hope?

Is it normal
to miss a stranger this much?
Or am I simply searching
for someone I can truly care for?

I know we haven’t met,
but one thing I do know for sure is
you were placed in my life
for a reason I can’t name yet.

I don’t have many words to offer,
but when we speak, even briefly
I feel settled,
like peace, like home.
And that’s when
I never want to let go.

Sometimes I run out of words
and watch us drift into silence
not because I’m not interested,
but because I respect your stillness.

I don’t know
if this feeling is normal.
But to me,
it feels real.

So, I’ll hold on
to the thought of you
until the day we finally meet.
And until then,
just know…

you’ve secured a space in my heart,
always on my mind,
and I miss you.
Even though I don’t know you.
