If I knew you then
the days that weren't so long
and the sun that felt so warm
your kisses that drew like silk
across a bare back.
If I knew you then,
The nights that stole to morning
the soft breath on my cheek
the comfortable silences that
filled my rest
If I knew you then
in the early dawn
when rays of morning slipped
onto my pillow; content.
Even if I knew you then,
like I know you now
I'd linger
for a deep drink from
and artesian well,
but did I ever know you?
