When We Were Young

I remember you from when we were young We never paid much mind To the mingling of our eyes We never said goodbyes To the moments we'd find We weren't much more than strangers You, with your boys to lead Me, with an oppressor to oppose How conversely our trees rose How distant our sown seeds You have all but forgotten the way we never were The way we never kissed The way we never loved Rightly, she flew free, that dove Rightly, that train was missed But, here I’ve found you in the present sun Your curls still yellow-gold Like I recall them to be There, under a willow tree In passing of stories told I can feel how you're wondering so quietly Not so different you and I As ages have come to pass Steeped in fields of grass Under the same empty sky Worlds apart have ways of closing distance Everything changes by and by When entrusted to Father Time, Perhaps words can learn to rhyme Perhaps our collision grows nigh
