I wish I knew you later

-Allison Kirk

I wish I knew you later

When I'm older,

when I realized,

what it is to love,

I don't know,

what is you,

and what is me,

The line blurs like

the fuzzy images of

a camera,

My legs entangled in yours,

as you pull me closer,

Is it just a sense of loneliness,

that holds us together,

or do I really love you,

I wish I knew you later,

when the idea of me,

was crystal clear,

I’d look in the mirror,

And see the same,

a reflection of what

I see in my mind,

But we don’t have time,

I wish I knew you later,

what a beautiful thing,

we have created,

But we forgot,

that no matter,

how perfect,

We bend to time,

Isn't it funny?

That love is so particular,

like your OCD,

And I'm a pair of socks

out of order.
