Because I Never Knew You Knew Me Poem by Michelle Chargualaf

How is it when I am with you, I can never seem to get close enough to you?
Because I never knew you knew me.

Why do I want to make love to you every time I caress your body?
Because I never knew you knew me.

Or, as soon as you must leave, why do I already begin missing you?
Because I never knew you knew me.

You torture my mind daily with prevailing thoughts of moments spent together.
Because I never knew you knew me.

I just cannot seem to escape from you anywhere I turn and run.
Because I never knew you knew me.

Why are you burning such a passionate ring of fire inside my heart?
Because I never knew you knew me.

What have you done to me?
Because I never knew you knew me.

How have you touched me so deeply?
Because I never knew you knew me.

…And in such very little time.
Because I never knew you knew me.

No one has ever affected me like this before…it scares me! ! !
Because I never knew you knew me.

Be gentle with the feelings I have for you…they are genuine.
Because I never knew you knew me.
