Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl:

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl:

This should have one of those notes at the bottom attributing the lyrics (I'm Not That Girl) to the musical Wicked.

1) I hope you find happiness in life, whether with this or some other partner.

2) Wicked is one of my favorite musicals ever and seeing this post put a happy spin on an otherwise depressingly unhappy day, so much so that I'm writing this post while listening to the soundtrack on my iPod.
