I often wonder what happened to her
that mysterious girl with flawless skin
I wonder if she ran out chasing her dreams
traveling only the roads less taken
Did she find success and happiness?
Or did she wind up drowning in heartache?
Did she end up falling in love with herself?
Or were her insecurities too much to take?
I often find myself admiring her
that thin girl with a bright, shining smile
The way she wore her pride on her shoulders
how her carefree spirit ran wild
Her determination drew people in
she’d captivate those she’d walk passed
Her twinkling eyes would steal your heart
men found themselves lost in one glance
I often wonder what happened to her
that girl who couldn’t be stopped
Pictures are all that seem to be left
of the life of a girl life forgot
I stare at the image admiring her
how she radiated positivity
That girl, she’s a stranger to me now –
she’s the girl who I used to be.
