I Once Knew A Girl

Zak Collins

I once knew a girl
I thought was for me
The only problem was
She was someone I couldn't ever see

I once knew a girl
Whose schedule was so busy
And was always moving so fast
It put me in a tizzy

I once knew a girl
That had such beauty in her eyes
I couldn't put up a facade
To use as a disguise

I once knew a girl
Who was a flower in full bloom
My heart would stand still
Everytime she was in the room

But for the time being
Unless we bid adew
I shall wait for her love
A dream I hope comes true
