The Girl That Got Away

~Written at the beginning of 2005 (18 y/o me)~

Before the fire in my eyes turn to embers

I want to be the one that you remember

The face that you see in your mind

That person that you long to find

When your nights are filled with pain and sorrow

There seem to be no good times to borrow

Think of me, as you’re falling asleep

Think of me, and begin to weep

Weep for the girl that you let get away

Weep for the girl that you miss every day

You should take away your pride, and let her know

That you love her still, and you‘ll stop this show

For then you will realize, how much she still cares

That the love you feel, is something she shares

Cry to the World, and let it show

That you love the girl, or just let her know
