My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Not The One

This is a poem I wrote in 2005. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, though I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This is one of the few that I might have succeeded in at least creating a tune for the chorus, though it sounds strangely familiar.

​Hey pretty girl
I love the way you are
So nice and sweet
You're my little star
We go well together
Like A lion and his roar
You've had a taste of my love, girl
But you'll never make it to the core

So close and yet so far
You just remind me
Of how I want her
So close and yet so far
You just remind me
Of how I miss her
Close to me

Don't take this the wrong way
I really like you girl
I grow fonder every day
'Cause you're such a whirl
Though there's nothing wrong
Not everything is quite right
You know that I'd love too
But don't ask me to stay the night

So close and yet so far
You just remind me
Of how I want her
So close and yet so far
You just remind me
Of how I miss her
Close to me

We've become best friends
And playing these games with you has been so much fun
But it hurts me to tell you
You just aren't the one
Though we comfort each other
Through our many hurts
And you're so very tempting
But you just aren't her
You just aren't her

So close and yet so far
You just remind me
Of how I want her
So close and yet so far
You just remind me
Of how I miss her
Close to me

I'm so sorry girl
I still like you
But you just can't compete
I look into your eyes
And she's not there
You just remind me...
