Mystery girl,
I know you can hear me,
so just listen to this;
"She walks with a wonder
that sweeps the wind,
she looks at me with curiousity,
trying to fathom why
I am so shy,
not seeing that she has so much power,
I'm not quite sure,
if I've seen her face,
but I know she's beautiful,
eyes that radiate happiness,
and what a joyous peace
I've know since I looked into them,
pixels of magic,
a wonder that captivates me,
every now and then,
ever since I saw her eyes
she looks at me with curiousity,
trying to fathom why,
I'm so shy,
forgetting that she
has that luminous power,
so much omnipotence,
than one could ever know
Well, let me introduce myself,
I'm an eighteen year-old Ghanaian,
I dated a girl for five years,
I ignored all other pretty girls
for her and she buried
my heart in razor wire
she was my first girlfriend,
well, I guess I was the only one
taking relationships seriously,
and trust me on this,
I hate breaking a girl's heart,
that's not me
so I just wonder about,
with a trailing heart asking
questions about why it ended so soon."
