Wish to God I didn’t know now
Close to two decades ago, in the winter, told you once about finding a lost heart in the big city that a woman dropped when we smiled at each other.
I don’t think I ever told you that she was blond with a dark wool hat.
That’s all I remember.
It was a lifetime ago.
Back then, I’d tell people that everyone you meet out and about was single, sorta single and not single.
What a different life I’m living these days.
Was walking the kid to his BJJ class the other day when we found another lost heart.
And I was instantly back to 2006 in my old life.
At least, in my head.
In the past five decades or so, gotta say that one of the truest things I’ve ever heard was from a glam rock back in the 80s, of all things.
The song went:
I wish to God I didn’t know now
The things I didn’t know then
Fuck me if that’s not onea the truest goddamn things anyone’s ever written.
Location: my roof, wishing it would stop raining
Mood: sleepless
Music: my best friend died (Spotify)
