I Met You


When I met you

You looked down,

And smiled at me.

That’s when I knew I was a goner.

 

When I met you

You didn’t know

That I even existed.

That’s when I knew I didn’t have a chance.

 

When I met you

You made me laugh

And smile more than anyone else.

That’s when I knew I was ruined.

 

Then I knew you

You talked to me,

And understood me.

That’s when I knew I was gone.

 

Then I knew you

You made me giggle,

And want to be a girl.

That’s when I knew it would be you.

 

Then we knew each other

Things didn’t change

You still made me happy.

That’s when I knew we were good.

 

Now we know each other

You make me giggle, smile, laugh,

It’s different don’t you know?

If I could see you now I would make sure you knew the truth.

 

When I met you

You looked down

And smiled at me.

That’s when I knew I was a goner.
