Three Points of Reference

Three Points of Reference

when i was younger
i remember you
now you are a father
and your children
are your world,
i remember when
we took you in from the cold
and gave you a place to stay
and,
then,
there is you,
you do not speak to me now
but you are still there in me
a kind of big brother
someone who gave me journies
and then,
there is you
i was young
and emotionally clumsy
but i do not think
you will ever know,
how i felt about you
i meant every crazy thought
i had about it
all of you,
are still with me
never forgotten
