Her

I knew her 
not everyone can say that
some people never had a chance 
which didn't make sense 
because everyone had a chance 
if they were bold enough to take it 
she just wasn't as trusting 
as she had been in the past 
but with good reason 
not everyone could be trusted 
their intentions weren't always clear 
until it was too late 
she was everything I ever wanted 
before I knew what I wanted 
just like a dream 
and I took her for granted 
I wish she had stayed a dream 
because this world didn't deserve her
I didn't deserve her
still I'm grateful nonetheless 
because I knew her
and not everyone can say that 
hopefully in the next life 
I'll get to know her again
