The Girl That I Knew Poem by Danny Speicher

It's over, It's over and I'm alone
Alone and confused and not knowing why
The pain would be less if I could just die
Oh, pain is greater than I've ever known

But, was it worth it, I hear you ask me
Would I choose to do it over again
With the knowledge I have now, present then
With all honesty, as true as can be

With disbelieving ears I tell you, "yes"
Stunned and confused you look at me as though
I have lost my mind, or I fail to know
So, you move on by, thinking of me less

But, you do not know the girl that I knew
For if you did, you would know why I'm true

For two months, you see, I woke in a dream
For two months I got to call a girl mine
And she called me hers, oh words so divine
So, life, for two months, was perfect, it seemed

Time and time again I kissed her sweet lips
Time and time again I held her soft hands
And e'en if I knew the hourglass sands
Were quickly pouring as time swiftly slipped

Even then, I'd put my heart on the line
For the moments I held her in my arms
Heard her say, "I love you" with all her charms
Was worth all this pain and sudden decline

For you did not know the girl that I knew
For if you did, you would know why I'm true
