If I Knew You

If I knew you, which I hardly do,

I’d say that you have dreams worth waiting for.

But in my own way I have tried to say,

“Yes, I’d like to be your friend, but do not ask for more.”

 

Love takes its own course; it will not be forced.

But when you need it most, it will be there.

It will bring you peace when, at last, someone sees

All you’ve held within your heart, hoping you could share.

 

I try not to care whether life is fair,

Or ask myself what I will never know.

It’s a fine day, so just come out and play,

And concentrate on where we are, not where we have to go.
