I Would Know You

Once upon a time I knew you
The � � �pull � � �between � � � � � � � � � � � � � �us � � � � � � � � � � � was � � � � � � � � �our new gravity
Eager and fast
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �passion came through
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � needing to trace the curves of your body
Your breath upon my skin screamed in near silence � � � � � � � � � � � �your hunger
Your senses where what overtook you
My good sense betrayed me and let me
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �jump in
My own hunger became my identity
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Your scent
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Your taste
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � The feel of you
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � I soon became
� � � � � � � � �
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �addicted.

You pressed on me for more and I gave you just enough
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � But it wasn�t

Now I know you but don�t. �Not like before. �
The world now has shape and structure
Like everything should be.
All is in its place. �We are no longer lost to ourselves.
Boundaries are set and we abide by them.

I would know you again. �
Like we were � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �before.
The thing is
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � I�m afraid
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � I lost you to
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � structure
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � rules
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �what � � �should � � �be

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �I would know you again.

I really like this piece. 💓
The words, are familiar.
I know the depths of this meaning.
Quite sad how fear can paralyze us, and cause us to miss out on certain opportunities.
Such as life.

There are times we try to recapture what was once was. The unfortunate thing is, that rarely happens. It doesn't keep us from trying though. Thank you for your words, as always, they are treasured.

I love how visually discombobulated this one. It suits the emotions expressed very well. You reined in the stanza talking about boundaries to feel restrictive a bit, compared to the rest. It's felt very clearly. I hope you learn each other again.

Thanks! I was going for something different to see if it worked. I'm glad it came across.
