I wish I had known you

 To truly know you, would it be so different 
from everything I thought I knew?
Surely, as I have after discovered it too.
But I wish I had truly known you 
In details as apparently useless as:
in what tooth you pass your tongue 
in what language do you pass your tooth
isn't it funny that I never knew 
unless for what you said on a view:
how you might want a kid
and how you love falafel (I like kofta)
and how you would never move
because you love your family 
and your friends and life there
and nowhere else you'll find that 
and how you prefer stronger women 
and shorter haired and waxed
(I'm neither of that)
thankfully this is not a love poem
the first since I decided to stop them
But you're the one who 
On the contrary to all others 
Knows my decisions are not to be trusted
(And you're still a ghost always present)
