I was fifteen when you met me on accident
A different kid
You said you'd be a friend
Nineteen didn't seem so far
Your poetry was art
You shared all your haunting parts
Gave you my shoulder, royal treatment
All the while, not fully grown

Do you remember?

Do you remember me
Loving you was easy at fifteen
Coincidentally it seemed
I'd wait by the water
Dive in deep hours
Restless sleep
Texting you wildly
You were too old for me

Do you remember?

Now that I'm older, I have some time
To reflect on how you changed my mind
Such a shame four years spent
On a love forbidden, not destined to be
Wishing I was eighteen
All the while you quickly
Turned a cheek, ghosted me for weeks

Do you remember?

Do you remember me
Loving you was easy at fifteen
Coincidentally it seemed
I'd wait by the water
Dive in deep hours
Restless sleep
Texting you wildly
You were too old for me

Do you remember
Praying God to age me fast
"Help me out, this guy's quite a catch
I really need him
Cause he's the man I love"

Do you remember?

I don't wish you ill will now
I see what you did and somehow
The break is understood
At seventeen when you said you needed "space"

For you and your new little baby

But, do you remember how I
clung to every word you said?
Do you somehow wish I was older
grown up and held your hand?
Do you think somehow we'd still be lovers
In another universe?
Or are midnight thoughts starting to wander
Walking all over my reality
I never said I was over my daydreaming...

Do you ever stop and think of me
Darling, do you even remember me?
Oh do you remember, your forbidden lover at nineteen?
I'm doing well, don't 'cha see
But still, I remember
Do you remember, little ol' me?
