hey, Alex
remember me?
maybe you do
maybe you don't
i don't see you anymore
where did you go?
did you decide to go to college?
you graduated last year
i cheered for you at the ceremony
we didn't get to talk though
you used to work at walmart
maybe you still do
but i'm still in school
i remember waving to you every time i saw you
and you knew i liked you
you always smiled at me to make me blush
and it worked
i remember when we first met
in the back of a school van
on our way to some plastic company for a field trip
you were a senior
i was a freshman
the trip was for seniors only
but the teacher liked me
so he let me go
you knew my sister
and that's how we met
it's crazy how things happen
we would wave to each other every time we passed each other in the halls
and eventually, we had a handshake we would do
there were many times my ex was being an *******
and made me cry right in the middle of school
and you would always be there to comfort me
then my friend told you i liked you
and i was always a coward when it came to this stuff
but i walked up to you in the hallway
asked if you had a girlfriend
you said no
but that you weren't looking for a relationship
i was upset
but it was okay
i wonder where you are now
every time i saw you
my heart would race
i bet if i saw you now
it would do the same thing
i still remember your voice
i wish i could hear it again
i miss you

If I had a quarter for every time I wished
For you and I to take a trip to yesterday
I don't know exactly how rich I would be
But it would add up to a lot of change

I don't know what I'd do with that cash
But I would spend every cent on you
Doing whatever you like till it's gone
Or till there's nothing left to do

Or we could leave where we are for good
Pack up all our things today and leave
I could take your hand and whisk you far from here
To a place our tomorrows will always be happy

I will say farewell to bad memories
Never look that direction again
Like arrows we will fly toward the future
Our time in this small town will end

Presently I have your heart to hold
And although time may never give me a replay
I am too lucky to be nostalgic
Done wishing for yesterdays

It is in my fall is your rise
It is in my dark is your light
It is in my lows is your high
It is in my small is your BIG
It is in my loss is your gain
It is in my night is your day
