The Therapist

You asked me to close my eyes
To keep my feet firmly on the ground
To visualise my past through a person
That I still loved

You said: Please recall the first time
That you felt you’d be together
I knew at that moment
As my tears flowed: My longing

Under the tree as our Sun rose
Heads and hearts aligned
Reading aloud to each other
The mysteries of the East

Everybody knows this
Everybody knows
(I knew then oh that was it, I knew then)
Everybody knows this
Everybody knows

You asked me what I would say
To the young girl living inside of me
As a child again, I spoke to myself
And I told her it’s going to be ok
