You knew who I was when we first met.
You could see inside my soul.
You knew what to say when I needed you.
You could feel into the depths of my feelings.
You knew how it was when I talked about myself.
You could get me like nobody else.
You knew how much pain I've been in,
You could share my grief and not lose yourself.
You knew I knew you when I met you
I could see the recognition in your eyes.
You knew I truly wanted to hear your opinions,
I could see that you saw how much I appreciated them.
You knew that I trusted you like nobody else.
I could see how much that pleased you.
You knew that I respected and valued you.
I could see that you respected and valued me back.
What I don't know is if you knew that I loved you.
What I don't know is if you know I still do.

Thanks, Howard for sharing your experience and your wisdom. You are right, when it comes to someone knowing you love him/her, it helps if you say so.
I'm sorry about your lost love.
I did, Rob? How did you know? ;-)
Thank you so much, Lawrence. :)
And thank you, too, Vikki! :)
Yeah, Jack, it is. And thanks! :)
A lovely sentiment in verse. Very tender and touching.
Beautifully 'heartfelt' contribution to the two word challenge.
You're welcome, Anila, and thanks for your comments!
Barbra, Thank you. You are always a wonderful support for me and I appreciate it.
Oh Leslie, I'm sorry! I've been down that road, too, falling for an unavailable man. I hope you won't have to wait for the next lifetime to find love with a man who can share it with you.
You are so right, Linda. Life is short and we never know what might happen. I'm just so not used to telling people. I'll have to get over that right now!:)
This line describes the way my husband and I both felt when we first met:
"You knew I knew you when I met you
I could see the recognition in your eyes."
This is the feeling, the certainty, that we feel when we meet our soulmates.
