I Remember

I remember
when my heart was full 
my eyes didn’t cry 
my soul 
my soul could go 
anywhere and never die 

I remember
I remember then.

I Didn’t Know, I Don’t Know

I didn’t know, I don’t know
How it would go

Could I reframe
From
Laughing, smiling or crying

Hold it close
Or
Let it go

Take a step to the left or
Move
Back to the right

Turn
Go anywhere
But does it seem right

Cause
I didn’t know, I don’t know.
