Throw rocks at my window,
Hold the boom box up high.
Send me on scavenger hunts,
Make me search far and wide.
Let me be your favorite song,
A tune you can never get out of your head.
Recall your fondest memories,
Those of when we first met.
Take me out to ball games,
Introduce me to all your friends.
I want to be your now and forever,
I want the cheesy moments to last a lifetime.
Take me in now and never look back,
We can have a life we create out of whack.

When you like someone everything changes, doesn't it?
It's as if the rules don't apply.
Your turn offs fade away and you don't quite understand why.
You start to notice the little things,
Like the way they their eyes squint when they smile.
Or how their hair is always a mess,
Or how beautiful their awkward laugh is.
You see the best in them when everyone else sees the worst.
You look at them with that lust, a desire,
A beating in your heart screaming kiss me.
But until that happens all you can think about is how they're going to taste on your lips,
How your sheets are going to smell once they've left,
And how your heart is gonna skip a beat every time he says your name.
Some would call it an infatuation,
I'd just call it a crush.

Let's play pretend.
Let's pretend we don't know each other.
Let's pretend we were never lovers.
Let's start over.
You can teach me how to sing.
I can teach you how to dance.
You can teach me to play piano.
I can teach you how to love.
Let's start over.
Let's drink.
Let's drink to the good times, to the bad.
Let's get ****** up together and not remember how it ends.
Let's be young, wild, and free.
Let's start over.
Now let's remember.
Let's remember the past.
Let's remember how we used to be.
Let's remember all the fun we had when we pretended.

I wish you could see what you've put me through.
I can't even remember the last time I was this aggravated...
oh wait, I can, it was also because of you.
First you leave, without even a goodbye.
No way for me to know other than your Facebook status.
Then you leave again, with part of my heart intertwined.
You swore to me you wouldn't be a ******.
Well here we are again.
I was finally getting over it until my phone rang.
3:15 am, I was sick and tired.
You sounded drunk and excited.
My friend and her roommate were sleeping at your place.
Woo hoo, part-ay.
It didn't click in my mind until the morning of what you had said to me.
That your place was too small for me and my friend to come stay.
Oh, I see.
I'm not what you want.
You've made it crystal clear.
But why do I wish you were still here?
I close my eyes and it's flashback on flashback.
We only had a weekend until you left again.
But what I didn't know is that when you left...
I'd be losing a friend.

Keys jingling, hearts pounding, we meet again at last.
It's taken a while, I thought you hated me, but then we had a blast.
Two nights you spent in my bed, my blankets still smell of you.
Dancing the two step down the road, just us two.
I still can't wrap my mind around what happened, life just felt still.
Nothing moved, just me and you, and it gave me quite a chill.
A chill I can't forget, one we can't deny.
It was just a hook up, and I can't figure out why.
Why me, was I really worth it?
You pulled me on top of you, no hesitation, just pure lust.
Silently we kissed, we touched, and then I just.
I got scared, pulled away, this was the first time for me.
You said not to worry, I was good, just breathe and trust me.
I started to shake, I had never felt this way before.
Part of me thunk, no, I can't be a *****.
Two nights pass and you have to head back home.
A thirteen hour drive, leaving me alone.
I couldn't not be sad, I just had to cry.
I've never had this happen to me, and I'm still wondering why.
I don't want to sleep alone, I just want to cuddle again.
Until that day I get on that long plane,
when we can finally reunite.
I hope sparks fly and time stands still just like it did those nights.

It's times like these I wish you were still here.
A friendship like yours, one I held so dear.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is coming,
but what does the future hold?
Well that child,
I do not know.
I do not know how I've managed to make it eight months without you.
I do not know why I can't stop thinking.
I do not know how much longer I have.
And you don't know how much I've been sinking.
Falling for all your pretty little lies.
Falling deep into the brown of your eyes.
I can't help but wonder,
do I ever cross your mind?
Because I can not seem to put you behind.
I do not know how life works,
yet you seem to.
You seem to be able to play with emotions,
not noticing your notions,
which seem to be degrading in the long run.
All the things you promised are far gone.
You gave me hope.
Hope that tomorrow would always bring peace.
But now I have no way to cope.
That last phrase, that's a lie.
I'm finally starting to move on.
Do I wish you were still in my life, yes.
Do I wish you never hurt me, yes.
Can I change what happened, no.
So this is me, beginning anew.
A new chapter in my book starts soon,
and I hope this chapter involves...
**forgetting you

I loved you

You left me to stand alone

You helped me walk when I could not

You gained my trust and then threw it away

I loved you

You were my best friend

Swore to me that you’d always be there

You loved me

Slowly we stopped talking, it went from everyday to barely ever

You assured me you’d always be there

You told me you cared

You told me you loved me

Months went by not a single hello

I was accepted into college, not even a congratulations

My phone vibrates, it’s December 28th

It’s you

You said I don’t deserve you anymore

That you helped me when I needed it

That it’s time to move on

I loved you

You were my best friend

Now how the hell do I move on

You loved me

Or was that a lie too

I spend countless nights

Tears running down my face

Why, how, what did I do

I think now

I’m better off without you

I may have loved you

But a memory is all you are now

— The End —
