The One That Got Away

Through the sunny days and the starry nights,
And through the bright evenings in the City of Lights,
There was in my mind, but a single thought
For the One who mattered, For the One I sought.

Her presence made me feel so high I could fly,
But little did she know 'cause I was timid and shy,
When our eyes first met I noticed a gleam,
And from the very next moment, only her eyes I could dream.

I dreamt through the pleasure, I dreamt through the pain,
Dreams were all I had, which were but in vain.
I would sit and wonder when I could summon the gall,
To tell her how I felt and to reveal it all.

And then came the day, and came the shining Knight,
He swept her off her feet, and they rode off into the twilight,
Left alone in my misery, I had my only thought,
For the One who mattered, For the One I sought.
