I don't know you

I don't know you

But I know that anger

That frustration

That point of breaking

That waver in your voice

I know that one ounce of concer

One gesture of love

Will topple the precarious wall

That you hold up

But since I don't know you 

When you burst into tears

When you apologize for your rudeness

And when you hurry away sobbing

I can't follow you

I don't know you

But

I do know someone who does

He knows you better than you know yourself

He knows why you are crying

He knows why you are angry

And He knows your heart

So now, with all of mine

I will ask Him to hold yours

Tightly and softly and securely

I will let my own brokenness towards you

Guide me to whisper His heart over yours

I will beg Him to meet with you 

To reach out to you

And although I don't know you

I hope you know Him

And if you don't, I hope you find Him

In those tears

In that anger

In that waver in your voice

In the breaking of your wall

That it topples and on the other side you find Him

Standing, arms open, eyes soft, heart broken

Just for you

So that in heaven

I can know you

Because one day I didn't

And He gave me those words

And in them you felt His love
