[ WP ] Tell me a story , any story , but you may only say what DID N'T happen . Good luck .

You and I never met. I never heard your heartbeat, never saw you grow. Never did your tiny feet learn their way down the hall, and never did they slip into tiny shoes- velcro first, then laces. 
 
 Never did I hold your hand on the first day of school, nor did I tear up when you let go and went inside. Never will I know what your favorite subject would have been, if you liked class or not. I never found out if you wanted to dance, or play soccer. 
 
 I never watched you throw your cap to the sky, never cried because you were growing up. I never helped you pack and move away to bigger, brighter things. 
 
 I never listened to your call at three in the morning, never helped you see that your first love would not be your last. I never helped you pick up the pieces of your heart. 
 
 I never heard about your great job, your promotion, your travel plans and the wonderful countries you fell in love with. I never got to know the person you decided to spend your life with. 
 
 I never got to see you in a pretty white dress, or a dress of any kind. I never got to know you as your own person, learn your hopes and dreams. 
 
 The doctors never told me anything was wrong, until they did n't have to. 
 
 I never got to do any of it, but that did n't stop me loving you anyway.
