There you are…
Having the time of your life.
Looks like you are the life of this party,
Enjoying the company of your tribe.
My mind suddenly started playing the flashback,
Showing me glimpse of the memories we shared.
Every moment came alive in front of my eyes,
I haven’t forgotten anything, that’s how much I have always cared.
Do you remember the town where we grew up?
There was a bench in the front porch of your house.
We used to play there as little children,
Never minding the ever-staring crowd.
Everyone wanted to be your friend back then,
They liked your shiny toys I suppose…
I wasn’t the smartest or the coolest kid,
But still I was the one the little you chose.
Do you remember the picnic where you first made my cry?
I never knew how to dance but still wanted to try.
So, I gathered some courage and stood up from my chair.
Started to move my body but without any flair.
Everyone was laughing while my eyes were searching for you,
Years have passed yet I vividly remember that view…
There you were…
Playing with your new friends who were both cool and smart,
You were pointing at me and mocking,
with every cackle we were moving miles apart.
Something broke that day…
Maybe an unsaid promise or a fragile heart.
Today I am again dancing,
And having the time of my life.
Thinking how I was lucky enough,
To find my own tribe.
And there you are…
With a bunch of new faces around.
I hope your shiny toys are not the only things
That these cool kids have found.
I found myself glancing at your way, but your eyes never met mine.
We all somehow move on leaving all the bittersweet memories behind.
I sure might have been forgotten in your story,
But you always stayed somewhere in the back of my mind.
