girl i once knew

sometimes

when the light catches her face

in a very particular way

it remind's 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

drawing lines around her eyes

there's a key hole 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 her ghostly blue

like a girl that i once knew

and the girl that i once knew

left me empty and confused

yet it feels different somehow

with the girl that i know now
