Ink-Stained Affection

Enchanted Serenade

I wonder if I had known you before.

Did you reject me then?
Or loved me even more?

I wonder if I had seen you before.

Maybe at the grocery or the metro
Library or even at the local book store.

I wonder if I had realized you before

Then I would get more time
To place you right at my heart's core.

I wonder if I had a talk with you before.

Maybe about the weather, the politics
Or our favorite team's last week score.

I wonder if I had sat by your side before

Maybe then I would just listened to you
And never get bore.

I wonder if I had a walk with you before.

Along the rivers rim, or the garden
Or even along the sea shore.

I wonder if I had a coffee with you before.

Not in a renowned coffeeshop
In stead in a tribal folklore.

I wonder if I had a journey with you before.

Maybe we could know how
The birds fly, or the lions roar.

I wander in my thoughts
The thoughts you render
I wish I had you before
You still make me wonder.
