Don’t you remember how we first met?
All the shaky apprehensive feelings we would get
How could I forget?
Your friends carrying you out at school lunch
I think I had seen you before and I had a hunch
That maybe, just maybe you felt something towards me
To tease an accord for me
You were a cheerleader, I was a square
But you didn’t know any better to be fair
You gave me your number
The weight of the idea I felt over encumbered
Took over two weeks passed Valentine’s Day for me to call
Think you could tell I was shy behind my wall
We’d talk for hours us not caring about time at all
A week passes and I finally ask you to the movies, it feels like I need an inhaler
So we watch the movie I don’t remember the story too much but I think it was Drillbit Taylor
A few days pass and I ask you to be my girlfriend
I didn’t know at this point that you would be my best friend
We would see each other at school go make out by the elevators
My friends would walk by, and make fun of me later, they were haters
We were good for a while and then we broke
But I was so in love it was hard to let things go
Gave you some time and waited things out
I guess I didn’t know exactly what you were about
But me I was just a kid, googley-eyed at a girl
I think I became too much, trying to make you my world
So I stepped back to assess
To realize my feelings were in excess
Started writing raps to get the weight off my chest
So we took some distance for a year or so
Then one day, on my windshield, was a note
“I care about you, and things have been tough, I’m not gonna lie
But despite all that happened I would like to give us another try”
At this point I didn’t know how to feel
Emotions I pushed away as a pathway to heal
I didn’t respond for a day or two
Then I called and we started anew
I’d pick you up from school to play hooky
We got more intimate but honestly I was a rookie
You knew some things but I think we were in the same boat
So some time to romance, we would both devote
Then things got hard again you didn’t know what you wanted
Another break, all the while the feelings they haunted
Casted a cloud over me for a year and some
We graduate high school but we were good, but I reminisce on the crumbs
I dated another girl and was together for years
We still stayed in touch, but we kept things clear
Then my mom passed and you had known she was sick
Asked me to let you know when or if it happened and I struggled with it
But I decided to let you know, unknowing of your response
Afraid possibly you would be nonchalant
But you wrote a caring message on how you were sorry for my loss
We had not seen each other in years but to me, we still felt close
You update me on your life and how you are dating, and I was glad you weren’t alone
Some years pass and I had a falling out with my lady
The details of it weren’t important and not worth explaining
Some reason in my heart, I had to let you know
So I write a long message hoping you wouldn’t think it was a show
That I had only waited for something to happen and it was the perfect ammo
To reach out and hope you would want to reconcile
A few days pass and no response I must have been off by miles
Feeling stupid I just wanted to forget
How could I think that you had just been waiting on it?
But on the fourth day I get a response
“hey I’m so sorry my mother took my phone, I had got into trouble for leaving home. I’m good now, if you still wanted to talk?”
I respond “really? I thought I was being dumb.”
You say “is starting again something that you want?”
I hesitate for a second “maybe we could take it slow for a minute”
You agree, we talk for a week then we go out to eat.
As soon I see you, I struggled to even speak
Breathtaking I couldn’t even believe you were out with me
Something so strange about it but it felt more like a dream
After the dinner we go to a spot and play pool
Had a few drinks, and some laughs and everything felt cool
We go our separate ways and I slept with a smile
Something in all the years prior I haven’t felt in a while
We would hang out regularly, until I finally asked you to be lady again
The terrain felt shaky but so right
And we would hang out every night
Work or no work, 3 hours of sleep but I was so high
On the thought of seeing you again the next night
Acid rap, what a time that we shared
The interlude to lost, nothing could compare
To think all that time we spent apart wasn’t for nought
Cause at the end of the day it was just a part of our plot
Now fast forward 8 years and I’m still in love
We had troubles to state the least with timing, things, and some drugs
We bonded on music ever since the beginning
And we still share that love and I am still grinning
Some thinning along the way, but hey that’s how it goes
Through almost deaths, to roaming alone
Two fools hand in hand wandering on unfamiliar roads
But whatever happens we always have each other
You gave me a happy ending but the after can only get better
