You’ve never told me.
I’ll never know.
You appeared in my world where
I made all the rules and
Had all the answers and
You rewrote the rules and you changed my perspective.
And you knew.

You lit my first joint and
Showed me the universe. You
Knew everything and told me all of it. You
Saw me how I didn’t until that one day I did.
I changed for good.
And you knew.

I felt your laugh in my bones and
Your pain in my soul.  You taught me that
What I wanted you couldn’t give me, and that
What you gave me could be enough. You were
Every thought,
Every craving,
Every movement.
And you knew.

You gave me the spot in
Your arms where I’d always hoped you would. And
You took my hand and
You held it like it was yours.
Like I was yours. But
I never would be.
And you knew.

My days were incomplete without
You in them. You were
That song I heard,
That book I read,
That walk I took.
That story I told.
You never wanted to be, but you were.
And you knew.
Because I told you.
