    I Didn't Know

    I sit looking at you
    Listening to you speak
    Thoughts flow freely
    Conversation vivid

    I didn't know

    I look over and see
    I smile, with you in the back
    The pure vision
    Her

    I didn't know

    I turn back to you
    Jumping back into converstation
    The smile on your face
    Just plain happiness

    I didn't know

    "Thank you". The waiter puts our plates
    in front of us.

    I sit looking at you
    Watching you eat
    Thoughts flowing freely
    Conversation lost in food

    I didn't know
    I didn't know

    We are home now
    She is in Her room watching TV
    We are starting Deja Vu
    Smoking a cigarette as the movie begins

    I didn't know
    I didn't

    I am tired
    I lay down
    I hear you and her
    In her room, playing and laughing vividly

    I didn't know

    I wake up
    Go to the bathroom
    I see you two asleep
    It's early

    I didn't know

    I try to wake you
    It's cold, your cold
    "Babe, go lay in the room"
    I try to wake you

    I didn't know
    Last night would be our last
    To see you
    I didn't know

    The memory of that last night
    I didn't know would be a memory
    I would remember only with
    Your daughter

    Very moving...I couldn't imagine the thought, but it happens, and that's why they say cherish every minute and second with the ones you love so you don't know if it'll be the last. But you, you were able to put the emotions in words and make people wonder "what didn't you know" was it abuse, was it cheating, what?...the anticipation you created and than finding out the answer was like...WOW...didn't that think that was coming. I really liked it.
