# somehow i know

## [somehow i know](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/somehow-i-know)

    7th Sep 2004   [poetry](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:poetry#body-wrapper)  

somehow i know you would never have even spoken to me in high school

and that makes you scary somehow

i wonder as we talk about when i ripened in your eyes

about when it became okay to be seen with someone like me

holding you closely snuggled tightly together
