I Know You

You cannot love me
I am out of my mind
You said I’m not fragile
just way too damn kind
Now that I’ve met you
one life’s not enough
The same life I tried ending
in my father’s red truck
But now I know you.
I always have.
You could leave me like Moses in my childhood bed
use my name as a curse
and sleep with my friends
But I’d swear on my mother
still I’d swear on her
you’re the most perfect thing
I’ve seen on this earth
now that I know you.
Always have.
Always have.
