Missing Someone You Don’t Even Know
I been feeling kinda funny all day.
I feel like I have something to say.
Yet, there is no one here to talk to.
So I just ignore it like I usually do.
I often dream of the perfect girl.
Someone who always gives me a thrill.
I dream she is always here with me.
It seems so real, I want her to be.
Then I realize what is happening with me.
How can you miss someone you don’t even know?
Someone you haven’t had a chance to see.
Someone I hope to meet at a future time
A girl who will end my loneliness & set me free.
But, she is just a product of my mind.
Still, I miss her down to my very soul.
Will the day come when she will be a part of me?
I have lived alone for a number of years.
I’ve dated a lot of girls, remembering through my tears.
Nothing would last. They were slip sliding away.
I often found myself on my knees to pray.
I would pray and dream of the perfect girl.
One that would give my heart a whirl.
A girl who loved to have fun together.
Yet, would stick with me through any weather.
Then I realized what was happening to me.
How can you miss someone you don’t even know?
Someone you haven’t had a chance to see.
Someone I hope to meet at a future time.
A girl who will end my loneliness & set me free.
But, she is just a product of my mind.
Still, I miss her down to my very soul.
Will the day come when she will be a part of me??
I go about my usual evening at home.
Have dinner, watch a little TV, eat a scone.
Sometimes I will hear the phone ring.
A friend, a solicitor, or some other thing.
Then I am thinking about her once again.
I miss her more than a real close friend.
Living without her is no life at all.
Yet, in my mind she is at my call.
Then I realize what is happening to me.
How can you miss someone you don’t even know?
Someone you haven’t had a chance to see.
someone I hope to meet at a future time.
A girl who will end my loneliness & set me free.
But, she is just a product of my mind.
Still, I miss her down to my very soul.
Will the day come when she will be a part of me??
