I was asked a question the other day and I found my answer.. It was strange because it floated to me on the wind.. The question I was asked was "How can you say that you love someone if you have never met them?" You see the man that I am madly deeply and oh so in love with and I didn't meet in the traditional way. Before we ever saw each other face to face we had already fallen in love. In fact the first time he ever said " I Love You " was in a text half a country away.. In answer to the question I was asked I wrote this...
Ask the Blind Man...
When asked how one could love another..with out ever seeing them
How feelings could be so strong.. or if they were even true
I answered with a question of my own that rang out with honesty...
If a man sits next t his wife of 30 pulse years
holding her hand as the grandchildren play near by
as he turns to whisper sweet nothings in her ear...
Is it not true simply because he's blind?
The blind man has never laid eyes on his bride.. yet dose he love her any less?
He may not know what she looks like in a crowded room.. but he could pick her out without even a sound
He may not know if her hair is gold or brown..But he could tell you if she's happy by the way she moves around
In all honesty the blind man is the lucky one because he can not see..
The love he shares for his wife is from the inside looking out
he was able to fall in love without a second glance
So is it possible to love someone without ever seeing them?
Ask the blind man... or better yet ask his WIFE..
