You never knew

 
real loneliness was a mystery to you
growing up was like flowing in a stream
when you first said I love you
it was the first I ever heard
I love you directed at me
for the first time I felt full of life
it was to be a given in the home I grew
needs provided was that prof
there was an emptiness in me
a deep abyss void of a need
someone said they cared
since that day that unfed
you deliver that  banquet
you never knew the first I love you
