Last year I knew
your phone number
the sound of your voice sent
chills of anticipation through
my flesh

Last year there were no tears
I would have sold my soul
to be with you
I knew your blood and heart

Last year I felt you breathe
in and accept my love
Breathe out and give love

You said touch me
feel me
my heart beats and I bleed
Last year I knew you

I went to call you
the number has left
my mind
The feeling left my flesh

Cant seem to get inside your head
to know what to do
you are in my head
don’t want to let you go

Last year I felt your flesh
next to mine
your scent filled my
being with promise
cant stop sensing you

Last year I yearned
to be held and known
running through the
garden we grew

cant get you out of my
being… our love
lingers and covers me
growing like our new life

Last year we walked
in the rain
watched the clouds
and spoke of us

Your words fill me
caress me at unknown
moments in life
giving me hope

Last year I knew you
breathing in life
your heart beat
and your soul glowed

Last year I knew you.
