I WANT TO KNOW YOU

I want to know who you would have been

If the world hadn’t intervened, smashed you to smithereens

I wish I had known you before the world cast it’s spell

Took you down lonely street, waltzed you through hell

Oh I like who you are

I have no complaints

Though sometimes it’s hard

We’re neither one saints

We’re like pearls on a string

Our moments in time

And so many things

Of yours are like mine

I want to know you as you were meant to be

I want to know the you beyond all this suffering

I want to know you don’t make that weird

It’s just that you’re someone I have no wish to fear

And I like what you do

I watch and I wait

If we could have been friends

That would have been great

Like neighboring stars

Or birds in the rain

Fireflies sparkling

Like the moon on the wane

I want to know who we could have been

Walking a world where love was true and unbroken…

I want to know you.....
