The Therapist

You asked me to close my eyes; to keep my feet firmly on the ground. To visualise my past through a person - that I still loved

You said, please recall the first time that you felt you’d be together. I knew at that moment as my tears flowed: my longing

Under the tree as our sun rose, heads and hearts aligned. Reading aloud to each other the mysteries of the East

Everybody knows this, everybody knows

(I knew then oh that was it. I knew then)

Everybody knows this

Everybody knows

You asked me what I would say to the young girl living inside of me. As a child again, I spoke to myself and I told her it’s going to be OK
