I looked at the Christmas lights
glimmering on the branches
and all it reminded me of
was the beginning of the end

it's all going to end for me and him
he'll go back to college far away
I'll go back to high school
and I'll be so sad

he'll find another girl to kiss
and tell her she's pretty
and hold her hand
and make her origami birds

I'll be the one left behind
when it's all over
and he won't think of me
or want to hold my hand
or make me origami birds
or kiss me so hard and long
that I forget everything

he'll
forget
but
I
won't
