I Used You

You were there for me,

You didn’t know it.

You gave me so much,

You didn’t know it.

I can’t thank you enough

Just for being

Just for being

I hope you don’t mind

But I used you in a song

You were the perfect girl for the story

Even though we never met

I used you in a song

You had the right smile

So subtle but unmistakable

Your hair up just perfectly

And your jeans so tight

The way you did your job

Was something to behold

Such command and presence

Like I knew you

But I didn’t

If you only knew

The depths of my admiration

The stories about you

I’ve created in my mind

How would you feel

How would you feel

Oh well my writing is done

It’s done for now

I file you away in my mind

I’m sure I’ll have to use you again

Not the way you think
