I once knew a girl I was quite in love
from afar would I worship her stance
only by opportunity and sweet chance
did she walk nearby while stars above
did give romance a feverish design
the reckoning of desire in our eyes
I thought how soon would she be wise
to her beauty imagined would I resign
We did then discover a strong desire
turned to skipping school and having
each other for hours inside dreaming
spending lives as one would we aspire
Yet now today several decades pass
wonder if minds wander alike of pasts.
