KNOW ME

(THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO)

Know me,
Don't be afraid
I've got something for you.
But catch me on one foot
So I don't have time to pose.

Don't let it be long 'cuz I'm anxious.
Don't be too long
'Cuz I'm afraid
That you might change.

When you show your heart I rush
So don't act so tough.
And don't act like a lady.

Don't act at all -
Just BE.

Maybe it just slipped
You didn't mean to let go,
Let your tenderness show.
But once is all it takes.

And I was watching,
I was aware.

And now that I know
Just what's there
I'll try to draw it out again
So others can rush
On the you
That I do.

People are great
Don't play with their minds,
Make them feel good
Give them your time

We need them.

People are the watchdog of our sanity.
