Know You
I’m on the way to you,
Finally.
10 years ago, when we were just kids
When we were just 2 kids, in love
And we had thought we’d never be apart,
I never would’ve imagined that there could be a world in which I didn’t see you
I didn’t talk to you
Or hear about your stories and your accomplishments
In which I didn’t hug you
Or feel you
A world in which I didn’t know you.
But here we are, 10 years later,
I’m getting closer to you by hundreds of miles a minute.
Finally, after so long, you are the destination of my journey.
And 10 years later,
I’m still in love with you.
I’m still just that kid who watched your lips as you spoke,
And wanted to hear your laugh everyday
Who shared her soul with you
And wanted a piece of yours in return.
Who melted when your lips came close, and sank when they touched
I sunk into you
And I haven’t swam out since.
But you did
You grabbed onto that branch of that tree
That was invading our magical waters
And you let it pull you out.
I didn’t know you could stop loving me
So quickly too
I bet you didn’t know I could stop loving you
I bet you don’t know that I haven’t
But I’ll see you now, because I miss you.
I miss talking
And listening
And hugging
And feeling
The way that you make me talk, listen, hug, and feel.
Essentially,
I miss knowing you
I want to know you again
Let me know you again.
