I. My first in first grade I carved your name in my desk I hope it's still there. II. Made class valentines Required for everyone But mine was special. III. You begged the teacher To sit by me on the bus With a great big smile. IV. The first who wanted To take me out for dinner But it was a joke. V. Dedicated song I can no longer hear it Without thought of you. VI. You never said it But your eyes always told me You had wanted more. VII. You dated my friend And I never told you how Much I adored you. VIII. Playful like a child But mature like an adult So interesting. IX. You asked me to prom Yellow flowers for friendship That's all I wanted. X. You said you loved me I loved you like a brother It would never work. XI. You swore up and down You had changed for the better You didn't, first kiss. XII. Late walks on campus Never saw me with makeup We were so natural. XIII. Eyes found each other "I don't forget pretty girls" you whispered to me. XIV. I fell quickly, hard But you still loved someone else A girl with my name. XV. A friend of a friend Texting non-stop everyday Going nowhere fast. XVI. Liked me from the start Bruised and broken, I do care But not in that way. XVII. The piano man It was all right but timing One that got away. XVIII. We tried to fight time Thinking that you were ready Left us with heartache.
