I wish I'd known you then

I wish
I wish I had known you then
short thick brown hair
round big blue eyes
in your scout's uniform
or out fishing with your dad
and brothers
your years went slowly by
you left your mum
your brothers too
you married me
i still see the little boy in you
the little impish grin
your fists up ready to fight
imaginary or not

i still see you
that little boy lost
lost to me
as we parted company
but i still see you
that little boy
way back when
you were but a stranger
in some street id maybe see

Do you still see me
do you see the little girl in me?
Time is of no esence here
Its the boy and girl who met
the teens who date
the lovers who loved
the lovers who wept
the husband and wife
who created a happy family
that danced and drank
and laughed and cried
their nights away

Its the little boy in you
it never really went away
i still see it now
do you see the little girl in me
as you sit fondly beside me now
in our latter years now
as you sit by me
i see the little boy in you
time is of no essence here
we lived a life
and we still are
as you sit by me
reading the paper now
and I make a cup of tea
for us now
just for some pure company

its the little boy in you
i still see it now
i see in your photographs now

i wish id known you then

Aww what a sweet wonderful tribute to your husband and best friend. I love this. We should all be seen in this way from people we love. Well done. Nice read for sure.
