The one that got away

Miss
Im gunna come back and get you he said
young girl excited and confident
didnt know she was headin towards the years she would dread
months at a time
searchin for a sign
kept a lil hope
it helped her cope
he said it with a fury in his eyes
you can only imagine her surprise
when a boy said to her who knew the whole story
your fucked out of your mind
your wasting your time
hes forgotten bout you
a college man
has his whole future to plan
why would he wait for a girl as young as you?
You still got to grow up your a baby
He had an idea he said maybe
I could teach you the ropes of adulthood
only if youd be willing but I would.
He taught me but I didnt learn much
I was waitin for a real mans touch.
