Do You Think You Can Relate?

Do you think you can relate to all that's been happening to me?
A year ago I fell in love with a more than gorgeous girl.
It's funny how two souls find each other but never speak.
As I fell into a deep trance her troubles continued to haunt her and her family.
It wasn't too long ago that I FINALLY saw her face! It's been 6 months, you know!
But I felt something wrong.
Was it the look on her face that dragged me down or was it just a feeling I had that went
about?

The next day I hear the horrible news of her sister being scarred by her boyfriend now Ex.
That feeling I had was not a waste for when she arrived at the party she had needed to ask
me a question but I wasn't there anymore.
I guess I just couldn't deal with the pain anymore.
She was scarred with a knife, a line through her face.
I never thought this feeling meant anything.
If only I had listened to it.....maybe should would be safe and sound playing around with
the girl of my dreams but instead she's in the hospital.....and it's all my fault.
