She crossed the street and hit my world
I hurt this skinny baby girl and suddenly it all fell down
It went so fast, a second that lasts
An eternity, future to past
Thinking about it I break down

I’ll always feel the shame,
I thought I left you unconscious; 
your life; 
just like your name is precious
Precious like a pearl,  sorry little girl

I’m so sorry for what I’ve done
I never never meant to hurt you
Gather  all your arms  
When all is said and done
No one’s ever safe                 
Safe from harm 

It’s hard for you to realise 
that in this I am traumatised 
already Just by the sound 
so quick to blame while you evade
the responsibility, my part I’ll claim
but is it really fair to pin me down

I’ll always feel the shame
I thought I left you unconscious; 
your life 
just like your name is precious
Precious like a pearl, forgive me little girl


You walked onto my life
You Crashed into my entire world
Watchin’ our paths collide

The moment deserves a thought
Reflection on how it goes
Why did our paths align?

This notion I get of life –
I found it goes on
Long after our paths divide
