i know a girl

who rides her bike

past my office

everyday

i know a girl

who doesn't mind

the rain

wetting her clothes

i know a girl

who always smiles

when she passes

i know a girl

who dances

in the storm

when no one is looking

i know a girl

who's so strong

for others

she forgets to be strong

for herself

i know a girl

who loves to draw

on paper,

walls

or on her wrists

i know a girl

who wears long sleeves

even in the summer

i know a girl

who comes by crying

every now and then

i know a girl

who i love

and who i laugh with 

i once knew a girl

who loved to smile

and 

dance

and

sing

i once knew a girl

who said she was fine.

i once knew a girl
