Then, Not Now - Dear Reader

I’m dressed in navy from top to toe

My lips match also

It’s cold up north

You’re clothed in sunlight

A sanguine robe

Your hair’s a glare

A meridian glow

I loved you best and I love you still

But you know me then not now

I feel confounded but also at home

'Cause you know me then not now

I’ve got your laughter stuck in my head

A shaking rattle, a phantom drum

And now you’re talking a holy tongue

I used to speak but the years have undone

I loved you best and I love you still

But you know me then not now

I feel confounded but also at home

'Cause you know me then not now
