IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW

In case you didn't know
I've been inside your head
shared your sorrows
shyly known your joys

I cannot tell the hour or day
when strolling through a reverie
I first turned that hidden corner
of my mind. And found you there.

It seemed that, unbeknown to you
you'd wandered in
found a soft and cosy place to lie
and sojourned there

You would not, could not say
how long you'd slumbered.
Was it hours?
or did you first slip in
when lone Adam lonely strode
the glades of Eden?
Were you always there?
Waiting?

Though I cannot say,
since in my mind we spoke only
with eyes and hands
and soft, soft skin.

In case you didn't know
I've loved you long
and love you still.
