Before They Knew You

before they knew you i still came, did i not? and i knew that as well. my fear, i still feel in you when your thoughts cross mine. intense we are driven too blaze and then burn, falling from heaven too late for some, always too early for most. 'dear' your father was yours in your way, was he in you. Between us this much we know. Why do the others see sickness and pain, when i come late at night just too visit. I once was you/you once were me now i'm both, it's plain to see. Here in your garden i sleep.
