I'm told your name is Ryan
a very nice, strong name
and although I've never met you
I love you just the same

You don't know who I am
little Ryan
You probably don't know
that I even exist

Your mother has made sure
that I'll never meet you
or touch you
or hold you close to my heart

But someday you will find out
that I'm out there
and have been waiting
to meet you

You are a part of me
something that can't be denied
and you will somehow realize
that love is stronger than
the hatred you've been raised on
