I wish I had
I wish I had
Learned your name
But I couldn't read
I couldn't speak
Ah nobody taught me
Met you when you were full of lemonade
You strode boldly
In bold clothes
Covered the fear
Spent four years inside you
Day upon day
You pushed colours and borders
Lit by my gaze
Oh the photograph
The last gasp on steps at the end
Just a tiny glance
All I ask
Amidst all this tension
You know a man visits
Every day
With barely a love affair
He may love me
But I do not love him
Can I move to where you move
Dash down the street
With the degree that I gave you
For all you gave me
You've demolished my heart
Whichever room it lived in
Oh I wish I had, I wish I had
I wish I had learned your name
