Getting Over

I wrote this a long time ago, and I came across it today. I think it's good enough to be published:
Written originally by me in 2002 or 2003, with some editing now.

No matter what I do or where I go I think about her
I've tried to stop but something hard is getting over
this girl I didn't even plan to ask her out
but still almost a good friend in first semester
then I messed it up

I've been trying to get over her and I know I will someday
I know it will happen, everything will be OK
that I could move on and roll with this punch to my heart
Next time I meet I girl I like, I never know where to start

And I've tried
and realized
getting over won't happen
before my eyes
And I've tried
and realized
getting over her
will take some time

She seemed so innocent
Her smile lighted up my day Her
eyes deep with intelligence
I'll get over her with prayer
with all that icing on the cake
ignored the heart-breaking layer
When my heart stops again
I'll take some aspirin
Bayer

And when I leave from class today I'll try to say her
Hair, reminds me, of, the, ocean
Then try to guess the chair
that she would sit down in
and then her friends will say "Hey-er"
"That spot's reserved for us"
I'll say "Okay-er"

I guess it's for the better
try to tell that to my heart
these relationships tend to end
before I know where to start
