All the People You Could've Known

 So many strangers you could've known.

Their lives a little less bright, but they won't know the difference. 

What a shame they won't know the love I know-

The smile that I know-

The kind eyes that I know.


They should be envious,

But I can't blame them-

They don't know better.

They didn't weather the storm,

To know the sunshine, like I did.


They're reveling in their ignorant bliss-

Joke's on them, for what they've missed.

But I don't fault them.


All the people you could've known-

Robbed of unconditional love- 

But I'll try my best to show them.


It's a shame,

They know your name,

But not your warmth or your glow.


I'll try to grow-

And touch all of the people you could've known.
