I wish I had met you before
to know what love is like
to learn to love with eyes
to fathom the meaning of silence
I wish I had met you before
to hold onto your soul
to shut you from the hurt
to clutch your hand
I wish I had met you before
to cover you in those storms
to keep you forever warm
to hear your heart's song
I wish I had met you before
to love you like a madman
to hold you in my arms
to never let you go
I wish I had met you before
to make you feel safe
to brush your tear away
to never let you fall
I wish I had met you before
to walk you into eventides
to talk an ancient talk to you
to count the myraid stars, with you.
Sameer
