The little girl lost just disappeared
I'd wait for her return
Countless hours I would spend
Hoping I would learn
What brought about the change that day
What made her end the dance
I'd ask until I came upon
The answer just by chance

My life went on as these things do
And though I missed my friend
I found the memories of our game
were fading to an end
I fought to hold them to my heart
But fate would intervene
I felt her pull away from me
Erasing all I'd seen

One night while I was dreaming
She knelt beside my bed
Her youthful beauty drowning out
The words that she had said
I woke up trembling frightened that
I'd missed what I had sought
The past was flashing through my mind
The things that I'd forgot

That little girl was never really
Truly lost you see
She simply stepped aside so I could
Be who I should be

The woman found in me
