On Moving Forward

4.16.18

I knew--I thought I knew--what you were up to

When you asked me to walk together,

Hand in nervous hand

Along the sunset.

I knew--I thought I knew--what you were going to do

When you asked for a favor,

But I took your water bottle

Because it was all I could do.

I knew--I thought I knew--exactly what I'd say

When you asked me the question

I've wanted to answer since 

Your face first met mine.

I don't know where we will go,

Or if my life will be long,

But I knew--I know--I have always known

I want to spend it with you.
