I Met You In The Summer

I used to be an echo.

I used to be a longing.

I used to be in servitude

to the beauty of a dancer.

I used to be a sailor

with a girl in New York Town.

I used to be a poet

with a trusting brown eyed lover.

I used to live in a tower.

I used to live in Canada.

I used to live near a waterfall.

I used to live in the desert.

I've forgotten all those other lives,

they're cobwebs and ink that's faded.

Ever since you've loved me,

I finally feel like I might be real.
