Once I met a beautiful soul, lost.
Who had just lost everything.
For no reason at all she paid the cost.
Betrayal is what fake friends bring.

when I first saw her face, the pain.
I knew I had to do something.
she was so familiar yet we had never met.
but I think maybe in my dreams.

Over the years I have had many dreams.
so real to understand.
about a beautiful girl lost in her world
and reaching out my hand.

Once I saw her smile and laugh.
I knew she was the one in the dream.
The one I am supposed to protect.
from the wickedness she has seen.

people have often failed her.
theres been a lot of fake friends.
shes paid the price more than she cares to remember.
Betrayed by villans who pretend.

I feel like I should show her,
how a lady should be treated.
help her to rise and remember.
shes strong and cant be defeated.

I cant help the anger I feel toward those cowards.
I vow I will get them ten fold.
maybe for several hours.
For shes something to behold.

Shes broken, like me.
I relate to many things she has said.
I am compelled to help set her free.
somehow she was already in my head.

I'm not trying to scare her.
and I dont see her as some booty call.
as I got to know her a little.
it made me want to know it all.

I'm not trying to push her away.
or take away her comfort or peace.
but id be a fool if I didn't say.
shes the girl in my dreams at least.

yes she is gorgeous on the outside.
but its her soul that captivates me.
I know I'll probably never get a chance.
but I wish she could see what I see.

I believe in Deja'vu
and Honestly, the dreams were real.
these words I say are completely true.
and I hope to help her heal.
