Drowning in an open bar reception, You were more beautiful than I remembered. It had been two years since I saw you for the last time, last time. Some days, I barely thought about you at all.
Everything was different and nothing had changed. You watched me from across the room and I pretended not to notice. You passed me a note like we were in high school, Do you like me, yes or no?
I told you that you were too good for me, And hoped you wouldn’t believe it. I wanted to stare into your eyes forever, So all I could do was look away.
Without warning, you told me you loved me. “I’ll find you in L.A.,” you said. I knew better than to believe you, But sometimes all we have is our dreams.
You moved like fire on the dance floor, Forever ruining my favorite song. You stole a kiss on the cheek, And I pretended it didn’t break my heart.
We said goodbye for the last time, again. Lying awake in my motel bed, I watched the clock roll back. One more sleepless hour, Still chasing that same old dream.
