You were the oldest memory
I could ever think of
You were there when I was learning the alphabets
And having trouble memorizing the multiplication table
You were there when the teacher locked me out of the classroom

I wasn't able to bring a gumamela
You gave me one during Science class
You also helped me carry the logs
And amazed me with your ability to make fire
during the first camp out

I was quietly looking at your sketches
I once told you, they were good
But you just flashed a smile and
I've noticed the sparkles in your eyes
I know I should've concentrated in History instead

But Trigonometry and Physics were done
And we've marched down the aisle with flying colors
I've never seen you again
After you threw your tassel at our graduation day

Believe me, these memories came in to me
When I saw you again after 8 years of nothing
You were still the same innocent face I knew
Only a lot more of a beautiful face,
A more subtle eyes,
A more genuine smile
And it amazes me more
'Cause you've grown into a good man

And maybe... just maybe I thought,
It's because of the girl you're always with
In the photographs with a deep caption of yours
Maybe... just maybe
It's a lot more than I think
'Cause I knew it by the way you look at her
Cause that's how you used to look at me before
