Your First, Your Last

I bet you never knew this,

But I’d watch you through the glass

When you were playing drums

In Mr. Piles class.

I always thought of you,

Even when we weren’t talking.

Remember when I sprained my ankle,

You helped me with walking?

I wrote about you in the yearbook

Ms. Monohan made her grade 7 class.

I knew I’d always remember you,

Even if it’s a pain in the ass.

When I was in the music room,

I’d watch you mowing the grass

I assumed it was your punishment,

Like dishes when me and Jesse skipped class.

I remember watching Lord of the Rings

Thinking about our relationship.

I remember thinking that I’d

Always be all on in this.

I can remember just how much it hurt

When Justy told me that you kissed.

I wanted to be the only girl

Who would love you like this.

That’s why I wanted

To be your very first girl.

I wanted that experience,

Before the rest of the world.

My intentions were always pure,

I loved you with all my being.

Why do you think I always called you?

You were the love that I believed in.

Do you remember the heart key chain

You gave me when we starting dating?

It’s my company logo now,

If you squint, you’ll be able to see it.

You made me feel so special

When you went out of your way

To see my when I was babysitting Tianna

Instead of going out to play.

You have to go the extra mile

To keep a smile on my face.

I hate to say, but you did too well;

No one’s been able to take your place.

When I carved our names

Into the concrete outside Jason’s,

I think a part of my knew that

There’d be no other love like this.

I wish I could have told you

The way I really felt.

I know I was too reserved.

For someone like yourself.

I’ve seen the way you’ve been

With girls that aren’t me.

I wish I could have had a chance.

I hope they see they’re lucky.

I don’t have to know you.

I can see it all inside your eyes.

I know the person I envisioned

Is the same in real life.

I got you down, I’m positive.

I’ve figured out who you are.

If you ever want to know me too,

Just give me a call.

I really hope you’ve found someone,

Who makes you feel this way.

I wish nothing but the best for you,

I hope you never, ever, change.
