Yes it is possible to know someone really

There's no getting back 
once that corner was turned. 
No getting back 
what you'd learned, before 
you learned. 

Knowing someone cannot 
be undone

And it's everything in: 
part, whole and sum. 

There's no back button, and
no undo key 

I guess we could just 
move on, let's see 
from here on in - what is left?
Or next?  

Or just do
what is right. 

Which is probably not 
a guess. Knowing someone 

is the lip of a cliff 
on a moonlit night, 
hung in spotlight soft 
smack amidst abyss,
and 

you think you know their edges 
are trustworthy,

but 

it
only
takes
that one step,
one miss, 

(and no take-backs)

to see
