Dedicated To Marietta Martinez

Oh how I wish I had known you better. I never even got to kiss you or tell you how I felt. God I wanted you to be my girlfriend so bad. Life got weird for me, I was taken away; It was years before our paths ever crossed again; Then one day you saw me at the grocery store. And I wonder what would have happened; If I had of been available that day at the store; Because six months later you walked to the beach; Went into the water and never came back. I was so damned infatuated with you way back when If I hadn’t of been taken when we met up again I wonder if it would have made a difference to you. Did you know I had your name tattooed on me? I covered it up with something else but; It’s still calls out oury name so as not to forget you. Funny though the details of your face have become blurred; But I think about you more often than I probably should. Maybe next time pretty girl you won’t give up so easily; Me or someone else anything could happen if you have faith.
