I lost you

I lost you though I never had you.
I miss you though I never met you.
I love you though I never knew you.
In your death I made your acquaintance,
Looked in your eyes and saw my own.
I recognize you when none claim you.
Mark your passing when none notice your absence.
Forever remember you when none knew you existed.
Nameless face—faceless visage.
I hold vigil for you tonight.

    This brought hot tears to my eyes when I read it on your other page yesterday...so beautiful, poignant and perfect!

    Thank you!
