one time i knew you

one time i didn't

and this time i do

we laid in my bed and i touched your face and told you that i think the black holes in your eyes are beautiful because they remind me of space and i wanted to be the one to cover the rip in your space time continuum with my thumb

one time i knew you

i knew you once when i was broken

you were an recovering addict

and i was a neglected child

i pulled on the bottom of your blue jeans and begged you to stay for awhile

i didn't know that you still got high then

and you didn't know that i needed someone to break my heart to make me whole

this is where the black began

and ended

one time i didn't know you

i looked up and saw nothing

the sunrise in the morning screamed your name and i begged it to shut the fuck up because you had slipped out of your jeans along time ago and i was holding on to worn out edges and holes too ripped to be acceptable

i forgot at that time that you were the one who introduced me to the moon

i was too busy being angry to notice she had blessed my skin with honey

and i was too sad to notice that maybe you did care but just couldn't tell me yet

this time i know you
