The Boy I Never Knew

Once upon a time
Not so very long ago
I met the boy I never knew
And here I'll tell you so

His hair was black and curly
His eyes were deep as wells
From the moment that I saw him
I knew for him I fell

He didn't sing me love songs
Didn't whisper in my ear
He never even said my name
Though that I longed to hear

He didn't bring me flowers
Didn't sweep me off my feet
He never even held my hand
But we shared something sweet

For shortly after meeting
Our eyes locked in a stare
A smile was all we needed
To say what we knew was there

Innocent and lovely
Beautiful and pure
Everytime our eyes would meet
I knew our bond was sure

But time, it passed too quickly
And soon I had to go
What could have happened if we spoke
Well, that I'll never know

We never said Hello
And we didn't say Good-bye
My one last look as we drove away
Made me want to cry

Once upon a time
Bittersweetness came
I met the boy I never knew
And loved him just the same.
