I wish I knew you then when you were small
do you think of me
are you the same boy now as you were then or
has life chased away your childhood dreams
do you wonder if life chased away mine
would I have noticed you in teenage years
would you have noticed me
I imagine you with longer, curly, dark locks,
have you ever wondered about me

so many years passed—like an old Roberta Flack song,
"The first time ever I saw your face..."
I smiled inside.

Now memories flow through gray matter passages,
memories of you sitting with open arms,
a quick touch of your hand on mine,
an encounter in the stairwell,
gossip of your world,
I wish I knew the intricacies of your heart
do you think of me,
I still think of you
