Not the Girl for Me

We didn't always get along so well.
Most of the time I made her life a living hell.

I'd pretend to be interested then make jokes to make her feel small.
I didn't know then that one day she would rise and I would fall.

After a while I finally came to my senses.
But it was too late, I had already burned those bridges.

I felt my heart ripping out of my chest.
It was all my fault for making her feel like she didn't deserve the best.

She was a great girl, innocent and pure.
I was in love with her, I knew that for sure.

I was young and naive, not knowing how to show my true feeling.
I wasn't sure if God was real anymore but before him I still found myself kneeling.

A few years passed, I'd almost given up.
Then one night, while out with some friends, I saw that girl I loved.

We talked until they closed down that bar.
I found myself lying with her underneath the stars.

At 19, we were invisible to the world.
I was floating above the clouds, cause I had finally gotten my girl.

I felt her hands run through my hair as I turned and looked into her eyes.
I trembled as she pressed her lips to mine.

I'll never forget the night we spent in that little Pontiac.
When I think about it, chills run down my back.

Months went by and I hadn't heard from her at all.
I couldn't understand why she wouldn't answer my calls.

Was it me or my past?
I want to know why we couldn't make it last.

I guess God has a plan for each of us.
So when you are lookin for love, don't get in a rush.

Let time work in your favor.
But never underestimate the power of your Savior.

Live your life according to his will.
Everything will be alright and you'll get the better end of the deal.

People come into our lives for a reason.
Some may stay for years and others only for a season.

But they still make a difference in our lives.
They help us to learn and to grow, they help us to survive.

So when someone passes through your life again.
Remember that you might be the one to help their new chapter begin.
