SOMEONE I MET

 

SOMEONE I SEE, ONCE OR TWICE,

FOR ONLY I SEE, THIS IS NICE.

 

AT THIS TIME, I HAVE TO ASK WHY,

SOMEONE I MET, ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY.

 

HE SEEMS TO BE NICE, HOW NICE, A GREAT GUY.

WE SMILE, WE TALK; SOMEHOW WE KNOW HOW.

 

SOMEONE I MET, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHY,

NOTHING SEXUAL, CASUAL IS HOW WE TRY.

 

TIME MAY GO BY, WHAT A NICE GUY, ALL I DO

IS TALK, I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO TRY.

 

I GROW FROM PAIN AND LEARN TO

MAINTAIN, WHAT ‘S TO TREASURE AND

WHAT IS TO BE GAINED.

 

THE SUFFERING, THE PAIN SOMEHOW REMAINS,

THEN TALKING WITH HIM BECOMES A CHANGE

A MEANS TO KNOW SOMEONE I MET.

 

A SADNESS IN HIS EYES, FOR I SEE WE HAVE SHARED

THE SAME.

 

SOMEONE I MET, NO INTENTIONS YET, FRIENDSHIP

COULD BE GREAT WITH THIS MAN I MET.

 

SOMEONE I SEE ONCE OR TWICE,

FOR ONLY I SEE THIS COULD BE NICE.

 

NO PRESSURE, SOME FEARS, CAN THIS BE REAL,

NO HOPES, NO DREAMS

JUST SOMEONE I MET.
