I see you now Twisting and turning in your bed A green felt, that in the light of day Savours the Sun’s breath The moment breaks and your foilage Still, until caught by wind Bellows the sound of waves Crashing upon the shore I remember life before, the small house Sandwiched between forest and sea I was too young to know you then Too old to embrace you care free A boy full of lust and longing Spikey hair and new shoes If we’d met then as we do now I would not have been any less lost Though I sense you will escape me Off into the glittering sky When for a moment It was only us Your gentle arms Onto care for another Who when they were younger Forgot to look up
