I know you
but
you don’t know me
I know every thought going through your
head
You know me
but
I don’t know you
you know every though going through my
head

I could spend all night
and deep into tomorrow
listening to your song
You are a melody
awaiting a tune
hang on!

I love the bits of  you
you can’t see
because
I suspect
you shield
the world
from seeing them too

Tomorrow
we talk about
all the time
today slips
through our fingers
undefined,

I am not easy to
love
this much I know
I have let go of
love
this much I know
I have laughed at
love
this much I know
I have cried for
love
this much I know
I have screamed for
love
this much I know
I would die for
love
this much I know
I have loved for
love
this much I know
I have missed out on
love
this much I know
I  have known true
love
this much I know

when someone says
I love you
take it
embrace it
silence the questions
in your heart
when someone says
I love you
silence
the young child
within
you have lost.

After all
the love was cleared  away
the laughter and the joy
two hundred people
sweeping
all our dreams away
into black plastic sacks
smiling as they worked
never knowing the slack
yet smiling  knowingly
at our lack
even  after all that
we still
drove home
celebrated our success
Yes
unbelievably
even
knowing all that
we celebrated our success.
