Do you remember me?
The girl that loved you,
once upon a time.
I used to make wishes on
daisy petals for you,
that you would be mine forever.
We used to write notes back and forth
and you'd fold mine into cranes and frogs,
and place them in my locker in between class.
I used to sit next to you, real close, at The Shack
and eat a BLT, and my leg would tap, tap, tap
trying to shake away the nerves.
You used to talk about the galaxy and it's infinity
as we sat in the bed of your old, rusted truck
and the moonlight would dance across the pond and onto our young faces.
I used to whisper to you on the phone,
real late at night when I was supposed to be asleep,
and you would whisper back, even though you didn't have to hush.
We used to talk about years down the road,
about now, and what our lives would be like,
together, for certain.
Do you remember me?
The girl that you loved back,
once upon a time.
Do you remember me?
The girl that you left behind.
