If Only You Knew

A short love letter to my younger self.

Oh sweet little one. If only you knew…
In those hours you felt alone in life and consoled yourself to sleep.
In the moments of isolation.
In the times you reached out to unheeded ears.
In those circumstances you were put in a rough place.
In all of the mixed emotions you found yourself trying to understand.

If only you knew in those moments what life had in store for you.
