I used to
Always know
What I'm doing,
But you
Are an exception;
With you,
I'm still learning.

With you,
I'm a child again,
Gripping onto
All things concrete,
Venturing to take
My first steps,
To take
Baby steps.

With you,
I'm a child again,
Clutching onto
All things not taught,
Venturing to master
A new alphabet,
To master
New words.

With you,
I'm a child again,
Seizing
All things You
Trying, just trying
To understand you,
To unravel and discover
The light
That flickers
Within you.
