Knock knock, delivery
By no means should you make me wait.
I’ve been here before, sir
As this is attempt number eight.

I bring to you a message,
From someone you should know.
It seems to be important,
Expedited in the snow.

The first time, you were sleeping,
And the second, and the third.
I saw when looking through the blinds,
And from the snoring that I heard.

The fourth time, house was vacant,
The fifth and sixth time too.
By the seventh, I didn’t even knock,
I just called right out to you.

But no answer then of course.
You really must not care.
I wish not let this carry on,
Where the neighbors start to stare.

“What is it *******!
I never called for a thing!
Unless it’s whiskey that you’ve got,
Don’t want what you’re offering!”

Oh but sir, this is crucial,
Don’t you shut the door just yet.
Got a message from your past,
And the you you’ve never met.

“You’re pathetic, I don’t know you”
Oh but sir, you truly do.
Before you stands your reflection;
I am the same person as you.

With a word from your past
Saying it’s time to forgive.
And I’m the future you
You’ll never get to know until you live.
