I do not know you

I’ve lost my heart

but you gave me your heart

I cannot see you

I’ve never heard you

but you gave me your heart

you no longer exist, although I do

I am here and you are not

Thank you THANK YOU

and I feel sorry for your family

I am sure that they mourned for you

I am sure that they would have loved you as much as I am loved

I would never have met you

but if it is any comfort to you where you are

my family is very happy that I am here

I was 3 months old

I wonder how old you were

I love you with all my heart

I love you with all of your heart

I love you with all of our heart

I’ll try to love enough for both of us

(in memory of Samantha Remington, heart transplant recipient)
