If We Never Met

If we never met

If we never met,

I would have never known your existence,

If we never met,

We would have never talked,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have ever loved you,

If we never met,

I wouldn't ever know love,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have experienced a heart break,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have experienced hurt,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have experienced trauma,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have known healing,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have learnt lessons,

If we never met,

I wouldn't have fallen in love with myself,

If we never met,

I wouldn't be as strong as I am today,

If we never met,

I wouldn't be writing this to you,

But now that we've already met, I thank you for all of the above.

I really like the neat twist at the end of this poem 😀
