Reena’s Exploration Challenge #105 – Only if I knew it then

Wistfulness

THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “The Loft” by Richard Jones: bed, river, room, burned, listened, weaving, empty, dreaming, final, calm, spoke, arms

Only if I knew it then
That it takes two to tango
Give and take, speak and listen
Weaving into life, taking its challenge
That I shouldn’t have taken you for granted
As you left the room and the bed’s empty

Only if I knew it then
That the river runs deep
Burning with desire, calming the sea
Trust is important, the final countdown
Dreaming that you’re still here but
Arms apart on the other side of the world
