I Liked A Girl

I Liked A Girl


I liked a girl
But she got away
I might be better off
Is what I now should say
But truth is one thing
And emotions are another
The greatest intellect
My heart can never smother

Tidepool
The water recedes but I still see
The traces linger
Just like those bittersweet memories
Tidepool
I can’t dive in but I can
Dip my toes
Because the future may be bright
Or it may not be right, but
Who knows?
Living in my tidepool

My life has changed
For better or worse
Who can say?
No doctor or nurse
Can ever calm me or bring me down
No Prozac wanted, so don’t come round
With pointy needles or stupid drugs
All I need is a gun and one last slug

Riptide
The current’s strong and I am not
Pulled away
The shore recedes and I get hot
Riptide
Pulls me away from what I know
From what I believe in
Guess after all I need rescuin’
Need help to get rescued from this
Riptide

Who can really say what happened to me?
I went through my life on bended knee
And although I don’t always appreciate
The things that I went through
I am so thankful, God, I went through them
With You!

So I gaze into my tidepool
It teems with life and I am surprised
Cuz there and there I see inside
Someone like me, coming into view
Someone for me, they’re brought by You!
My tidepool,
No longer a pool of regret
And even though I’ll never forget
The girl I loved who got away
From the riptide I’ll stay away
No need to drown far out at sea
My emotions can’t get the best of me
I’ll stay the course and walk the path
Cuz I can’t think of a good way to end this
Using a word that rhymes with ‘path’, so…the end!
