I Once Loved a Girl

I'd see her walking towards me with her skin so bronze and her smile so wide, and her hair hanging long, and her presence so warm, and her lips so soft, and her eyes shining so bright.

Many times I wanted to tell her how I felt about her but now she is gone.

I once loved a girl like I've never loved before, I stayed up all night singing songs, howling for her to be near me, to hear me and to help me to leave all my fears behind. She was and still is the only one that has the power to do that but she doesn't even know who she is.

I once loved a girl but now she is gone, gone from the wind that guided her and I blew my chance to talk to her, to laugh with her, to embrace her. To smile at her, to joke with her, to play with her. And to love her.

I once loved a girl but now my back has turned and I have to pretend that she isn't in my mind. To live the life of the free but not even the birds are free from the sky. I would risk it all just to spend a night with her.

I have no more tears to shed for my pillow can't take anymore, I stare at the ceiling just waiting for Dawn. When my mind is occupied it becomes bearable, but nothing I can do or say will make me forget about her. So now I got to live with this regret of letting her slip by. I don't mind who I tell, it doesn't matter who knows but the only one that should know has no idea so the pain still lingers on.

I once loved a girl but now she is gone.

When your light dims out and you wonder where your fearless inner child has gone, when you grow up to be too thick, too dumb and too blind, when you try your best to be just like you are but something is always in the way that stops you and you hide away like it doesn't bother you. And somewhere along the way you lose yourself and you either hate yourself or you're too numb to hate yourself even more than you already do. Maybe if none of this was on my mind, I would get the girl, I always longed for

I once loved a girl but now she is gone.
