Scraped Knees

Today, when dismissed

You talked to me

For the first time

In a long time

Then you asked me

All about her

And what happened

And how I felt

And I told you

Not to worry

I did not fall

Or scrape both knees

Then I asked you

All about him

And what happened

And how you felt

And you told me

I was lucky

Because you fell

And scraped both knees

Then you showed me

All your bruises

And I saw you

For the first time

You and I then

Walked together

For the first time

In a long time
