I Know from Skybound by Octavia McAloon

You were just passing through town, should have gone another way,
Injured on your journey and looking for a place to stay,
Someone points you to a healer, and says I’ve got a spare bed too,
And so I met you.

Always thought that when it came around, I’d know.
What he’d look like, how his voice would sound, I’d know.

Someone I’ve seen for nearly all my life,
He could provide and I’d be someone’s wife,
A simple tale of truths I thought I knew,
Until I met you.

You were kind and you were earnest, and stayed with me a dozen nights
You had this way of speaking open words with loving might,
But you were too easy to heal; I lied to keep you for a while,
You knew and just smiled.

Then you walked out that door, and suddenly I knew.
That my heart can’t bear for you to leave, I know, I know, I know.
