I Knew
There was a moment when
I knew.
I knew when you played me
The Proclaimers.
When you woke in terror,
pacing and pale,
I knew.
When I fell asleep, and felt
your hand on mine,
I knew.
It was when I saw your pain, and
saw your heart begin to heal.
I knew when you sent me an email saying,
“I missed you at the party.”
I knew when you spoke softly,
revealing regrets, doubts, and
hopes.
When I saw the look of shock on your face
as the kite string slipped from your fingers,
I knew.
When you smiled at your daughter,
I knew.
You shared a poem with me,
and I knew.
From the first moment I saw you,
I knew.
I knew that I loved you in all your aspects,
and knew that I’d cherish every moment
we share together.
I knew that my love for you
would be renewed in each moment,
and that I’d discover the depth and breadth of you
every day, anew.
I knew.
