Once

6/17/08

once i knew how to dance in the rain

how to sing in the shower

laugh for an hour

once i knew how to be myself

without a doubt

for another self they never did tout

once i knew how to tell you things

secrets in the nights

when we stopped our fights

once i knew the voices of nature

of the flowers

of rose-covered bowers

once i was a child

much like you

but now i'm old

and now i'm through
