I met a girl I thought I knew before
She was standing, waiting at my door
I heard her breathe
I heard her knock but only once
I ignored her, hoping she would go away
She wasn't what I wanted
Or what I needed
No not nearly enough to satisfy
I met a girl I thought I knew before
She was standing, waiting at my door
I heard her breathe
I heard her knock but only once
I went about my business as if she didn't exist
Another day in life surrounded by mist
After years of searching wishing and hoping
Imagining myself in the body of another
I discovered the girl still waiting but older
The person I always was and always will be
Longing and yearning, pining and sobbing
I opened the door and walked into my life
I embraced myself and the healing began
It finally came, it was there all the time
My life finally makes sense
Let living commence
If only I knew, if only I knew
I would not have wasted all that time.
