This is Me - Is it You?

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 the 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.
