I once met a girl
when I was a child
who lifted me up
whenever she smiled.
I once met a girl
when I was a youth
who taught me to laugh again;
showed me the truth.
I'll soon meet a girl
when I have grown old
who's worth more to me
than silver or gold.
Between now and then,
I'll sit in my chair
and I'll write lots of love poems
as I wait for her there.
Sometimes I'll get lonely
as I curl up at night
and I'll start to cry
longing to hold her tight.
Sometimes I'll feel sad
as the thunder of war
or pain of lost loved ones
knocks at my door.
But even in those times,
when I feel like I'll fall,
I'll think with a smile
of the girl who's my all.
I once met a girl
who lifted me out
of the sinkhole of misery,
self-hate and doubt.
And be it a thousand years,
two years or none,
I'll remember the girl
who I know is the One.
She'll stay in my heart,
and I'll love her forever,
Ne'er will I leave her,
not once, not ever.
