The first time I saw you, we were only ten years old
And you were one of the new kids in our grade.
The warm sticky weather was turning cold
As into fall the summer nights began to fade.
Messy blond hair, chocolate brown eyes, dazzlingly lazy smile - you knew
On the first day that I liked you by the blush in my cheeks.
Back then I didn't know what a crush truly was before you,
Yet somehow my heart recognized you as the one my soul seeks.
Flash forward to eighth grade & the last day of school,
You were so sweet to me, kissing my cheek one last time.
I didn't know just how much life could be cruel
Until you were gone & the world I knew stopped on a dime.
It's been a decade since I've seen you in person & sometimes I let
Myself wonder what could have been between the two of us,
But things have changed & now I wish all the best for you, but I want you to
Know that my love for you will stay on a shelf in my heart, collecting dust.
