About a Girl
There was this girl I used to know.
There was this girl I used to love.
I thought we had a future as bright as the sky with the sun at its zenith. We were in love. Or so we thought we were. They say fate drives forces to meet. Perhaps destiny drives forces apart. She was the ying to my yang and the butter to my scotch. Or so I thought. Not one day went without me thinking of her. Not one day went without me waiting to go home to talk to her.
Her hair smelled of freshly bloomed flowers. Her skin was warm to the touch, smooth like cream. Her eyes glowed to me in the dark, the only light in my life at that time. Or so I thought. We made love carelessly simply because our love was careless. We loved each other with raw emotion. Simply because in essence, we were raw in spirit. We found each other when we were lost. We lost each other eventually when we found the world.
Sometimes we used to go for a walk. Sometimes we walked the opposite direction. In time we grew apart. In time perhaps we were meant to be apart. Yet not one day goes without me somehow…deep inside…in the bowels of my heart…believe that we can meet again and ignite those flames. Or so I think. Even though the better half of me screams for reason. Eventually it will win itself out.
She was my everything. And everything was her. Or so I thought. I pick up my guitar [oh! my gentle slave]. I come up with some well-meaning chords. But when pen meets paper all I draw is her name.
Yea.
I had a thing for a girl once. And I had a shot at her. And I took that shot.
Not one day goes without me asking myself if I made a mistake. Wondering out aloud why I did whatever it is I did to contribute to the degradation of our love. Not one day goes by without me thinking about her.
But now I can barely remember her face. What she looks like.
She’s just gone.
And she’s never…coming back. And now all I can think about is the memories.
Memories about a Girl.
