Write it Down

I didn't know you then
Running through fields choked with weeds
All bare feet and skinned knees
Carried with the current of muddy creeks

It's been a long time since our bodies weren't a consequence
Of all the places we have been
A million roads led to this end

If I write it down
I won't forget about
The mercy found in circumstance
In your wide eyes and trembling hands
If I write it down
(I cannot hide it from myself)
If I write it down
I will feel it forever

You didn't know me then
I was always loud but secretive
Secreting away the things I kept
Maps and books and skeletons
Of birds that dropped from flight
If given half a chance I might've done the same
Were it not for the promise of something worth the wait

If there are strings at the heart of everything
Weaving and diverging
Were it true
Then all the choices I've ever made
Led me right here to you
To you
