I Knew You Better

A picture book, a paper letter

Remember when I knew you better

You were my bank, I was your debtor

Remember then

I knew you better

I read your book the day you wrote it

I took a look and barely noted

A simple friend, a simple pleasure

Six out of ten

I knew you better

I heed your word

I need your tether

Your eager art you string together

And all your friends, the light, the weather

Remember them

I knew you better
