I don't know

I don't know whether your eyes were brown or black
I don't know how your voice would sound
I don't know whether you like roses or lilies or peonies
Or would have insisted for a dog or cat or a parrot
I don't know what your dreams would be like
Or what you would like to play with
How many friends, how many games
I will never know what you will like

I see you

I see you sitting on tree branches
I see you playing in the fields
I see you hiding behind the bushes
And bursting into laughter when you spot me
I see you playing in the clouds
Jumping higher and higher
Sitting on a rock, holding a ball
Or reading a book under the shade
I see you jumping in puddles
And dirtying your new shorts
And coming with a kitten in your arms
That you found crying by the side of the road
I see you playing gently with your sister
Taking care of one and all
I see you loving and innocent
With a heart made of pure gold
I see you everywhere I look
For my heart sees where my eyes fail
For I long to hold you in my arms
As I see you running straight towards me
