a wink in time

Play pretend I've met you
now we're best friends
and we get to
figure out the whos and whats and whys
and hows we ought to be

Half the future comes to me
the other half is up to me
tohfilleinlallltheoblanks
you know it's hard to be an optimist these days.

Is it so violent 
as my mind is implying it?
I don't even know you 
and you don't even know me.
