You Have to Know
Perfect days they were,
as you were always on my mind.
So beautifully appealing
with your fascinating eyes.
Your irresistible smile, your laughter
kindled intensive intrigue,
and encouraged faithful ties.
Every day from across the way
your exquisite face shone bright.
You had to know
that I would think of you
most every single night.
Your heart felt always close to me,
then life got in the way.
Some unexpected heartache came,
but in all truth,
you, I could never blame.
And now from across the table
we catch up and remember when.
You had to know
that I loved you so,
even way back then.
Our lives have sped so far ahead
to a content and welcome place.
Any pondered paths not taken,
there’s no need
for us to trace.
Imagine a ship across the ocean
that faithfully sails back home.
You have to know
that I’m anchored close,
and my heart
shall dare not let you go.
