Innocent Changes

 

Two years ago

I should have

Met you.

 

Two years ago

You would have

Seen me,

 

I am the same.

Nothing much

Has changed.

 

How could

Two years of

Little change

 

Have swept by

So innocently

On winds unpure?

 

How could I

Have known not

To ride along?

 

There was no warning,

No signs

To detour.

 

If I'd known

Two years ago

I'd meet you now

 

I would have

Changed my life

And waited.

 

But two years ago

Was too lonely

To have known.
