Girl I Once Knew

Sometimes when the light catches her face

In a very particular way

It reminds me so true

Of a girl that I once knew

And there’s something in her voice

That has left me with no choice

And a memory’s renewed

Of a girl that I once knew

And there’s something when she smiles

Throwing lines around her eyes

As a keyhole I see through

To a girl that I once knew

Sometimes it’s almost too much

When I feel her gentle touch

Running fingers down and through

Like a girl that I once knew

And to hear her sleeping breath

The rise and falling of her chest

Moonlight paints a ghostly blue

Like a girl that I once knew

And the girl that I once knew

Left me empty and confused

And it feels different somehow

With the girl that I know now
