I wonder
If I told you
What you
Would really think
Would you
Dismiss me
Out of hand
Or encourage me
With a wink
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I wonder
If I told you
What you
Would really think
Would you
Dismiss me
Out of hand
Or encourage me
With a wink
If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have let you stay
I’d have made sure
You saw the worst of me
And done my best
To push you away
Starting again
With eyes wide open
Less of a chance
Hearts will be broken
I think I remember you,
she said,
I think we’ve met before.
Perhaps it was when I was young,
she said,
and before my heart was sore.
I don’t remember meeting,
he said,
although I really can’t be sure.
Why don’t you sit down,
he said,
and talk to me some more.
