If I knew you when
back then
when love was young
Back when the drinks flowed
freely
to fill the favored need
Back when the touches flowered
grew so
abundantly
Back when the blossoms
soared
wafting the billowed scents
The needs
we could have shared
back when I was young
Before
you were young
When my body was ever so true
and strong
If I knew your bright
shining spirit
your art
your charm
back when I was young
Squinting into the sunflower rays
of youth
beaming into my heart
back when I was forming
boyish
and yearning
Looking back now
as the light of pining
of knowing
of growing
still beaming
still youthful
still bonnie
darling daring eyes
I was ever ever so young
back then
Would that i knew you when
