The One Who Got Away




Once there was a dear girl,
Most beautiful in the world;
But she had this one flaw
That I could not amend.

She was so intoxicating,
Three years I had been waiting
For her to fall for me,
And lose her boyfriend.

I would wait forever for her
Thinking that just around the corner,
There she would be standing,
Waiting, just like me.

My friends, they called me crazy-
Pessimistic words won't faze me;
But only with some time
Will we all get to see.

I cannot control my feelings.
My hopes, they have no ceilings,
And this will be my end;
But I am not afraid.

If I ever stop my dreaming,
My life will lose its meaning.
What can I do then
With the choices I have made?

Although she's moved a long way,
Together we'll be someday.
I must never lose sight
Of how I love her.
Some say she's not the only
So don't go on this lonely,
And when I look around,
I tend to agree.

Well, there's still the attraction;
But I'm back in the action.
My new goal now is
To never be alone.

So, for now I will say goodbye,
She'll no longer cause me to cry;
But I'll forever mourn
I never knew her love.
