Never Truly Thought

I never truly thought,
In the bowels of my mind,
That I could ever find,
A girl like you.

You are everything I stand for,
Everything I adore.
You are the girl of my dreams,
But the girl in my waking life also.

This is not just some new feeling,
No, not at all.
This is a new life,
A wiped-clean slate, or a white-washed wall.

I have not found a new girl,
But a new life,
I have forgotten my pastly strife,
And grown into something new and learned.

Through you, my dear,
I can see through the rain,
And talk to the stars,
That for so long forgot me.
