There's a girl I met
A few years ago
at a Horror festivalShe was beautiful
Kinda knew who she were
I had heard her name
In the high school halls where
I Saw her every dayThe film was pretty shitty but
We laughed all the way
So we said we'd come again
On a different dayAt the horror festival
Is when it all beganHours long phone calls
Deep conversations
Laughter that led to tears
And Heartfelt confessionsWhere did I find someone
Who thinks so much like me
Who sees past my errors
And likes what lies withinShe loved my singing
My writing and my brain
She found a way to love me
For everything I amAnd I loved her acting
Her drawings and her heart
She had one of a child
And the dirtiest of mindsHer honest opinions
The way she said them loud
I'd never had a friend
Who made me feel so proudThe way she made me laugh
The way she made me smile
The way she made me feel like I was safe enough to cryAnd I still remember
The summer breeze on her long brown hair
Her sunkissed skin and her polka dot skirt
From that special night we metAnd you made me better
Than I ever thought I could one day be
You helped me believe there's a light in me
It shines brighter with youAnd we're not who we were,
cause now she's turned nineteen
But girl with you
I will always feel sixteen
And I go back to that night
That nightWhen I made a friend
A few years ago
And I'm thanking God
That I chose to goTo that Horror festival
Cause she's beautiful
