I couldn't have loved you then
Even if I had
I wouldn't've really known
Well here it is, plain and plumb:
I was not then
Who I am now, or
Who I might become
Then I was someone
Who had someone
But I was just one with one,
Not whole with whole
Nor all with all
I knew not me,
Just the false
I knew not I,
Just the fake
Oh but that was not the true
(Then, I didn't have this fact
I had an inkling though)
If I had known me the new
I could have been someone separate with
And synced without you
Look at us complete someones
Content not or with the other
Humph, oxygen.
Yes this
Would've been a wonder
But because
You were the you that you were and still are
And I was a me unlike myself, then
I had to dismiss self
From possession current
To find self
In an embroidered my,
Swaddled amidst enlightened garment
