I Knew You Then/I Know You Now

I knew you once before,

in a time far away,

we danced to the music

of a Celtic beat,

we drank pints of sweet dark ale,

until we fell laughing

within each other’s arms,

making love

until the new days dawn;

I knew you then,

I know you now;

there was another time,

another place,

lying on a fresh forest floor,

your long dark raven hair,

falling down

around my face,

the smell of your womanhood

filling my mind and soul,

the taste of your precious lips,

like delicious honey on mine;

I knew you then,

I know you now;

do not forget,

listen for the voice

calling within your soul,

leading us back

to a place

that only we have seen,

only we have known;

I will know you then,

as I know you now.
