Great White Buffalo
The one that got away
A girl who turned heads anywhere
Oh how I wish she would stay
As all could see we were the perfect pair
Sadly though she left without chase
And I could only watch perfection go
Mourning to see her flawless face
Combined with her natural glow
Reality struck me down like a hurricane
My perfect girl had up and gone
Feeling like a weak link of a chain
A game of chess a helpless pawn
Yet I still tried to keep in touch
With hope things would turn around
But sometimes you can do too much
Just keep your feet planted on the ground
Unsurprisingly the turn around did not prevail
My great white buffalo was gone for good
I became a sailboat with no wind to sail
And I prepared myself the best I could
Although life moves on I never will
So hopefully I'll see her again one day
For now though there's room to fill
Because she was the one that got away
