I know you now

By Leylia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Don't talk to me right now. I mean it!  Go away... I'm busy reminiscing on times Yet to be seen. I'd run to you, baby, But I think I'll just walk. My legs ache from running, And we have our whole lives To know each other. Besides, I know you now. And even if in some distant existence, In some future life, We may have to meet again, We'll see each other in the street, And stop our walking, And stop our running; And we'll sit on that bench over there And watch the cars pass, Reminiscing on times Yet to be seen. But I know you now, And my legs ache from walking, So let's just sit and watch the cars pass, And reminisce on times Yet to be seen. And we'll wonder who, In those cars on the street, Are passing each other by Like we almost did. And we'll laugh, Because I know you now, And we didn't.
