I Always Knew




"I Always Knew"
Oh, how easy it was to get to know you,
I knew from the first moment I saw you
     that you were the one,
Maybe not the first one
But most definitely the next one,

I still feel today
how I felt
when you would go out
     for your walks,
A strong shock of urge,
A yearning of the heart I cannot
     explain,
An intense desire I could not
     fight,

I could watch you for days
     lost in my lust for you,
The way you talked,
How you could get lost in thought,
How you said
     Hi
     that first time,
I knew then
you had to be mine,

Oh, how easy it was to get to know you,

I watched for hours and days on end,
I knew you left at six thirty A.M.
knew you threw your trash before the weekend,
knew how often you would order take-out,
Found out with ease you lived alone,

I looked through your garbage
     and noticed a prescription for doxepin,
I have watched intently now long enough
          to know your anxiety
          keeps you awake at night,
I have come to calm all that,
     To Cure your depression,
I have chosen this
     for us,
          it is only our natural progression
                for us to have our moment,

So, I crawled in one night,
     one foot
          through the window
               then the next,
Made sure you were asleep
     Before I grabbed you and bound you.

It was our Moment
     Nothing was going
To come between me and you,
I Always Knew
     from the first moment
I Saw You,
     I was your Cure.

Oh, how amazing it was to get to know you.
