Where are you now?

by CR   Sep 16, 2008


I remember meeting you,
Around the camp-fire way back
I remember we talked,
I was comfortable around you

It was new, unknown, foreign
You were a girl, a friendly one
You had seen me around school,
I had never seen you

I remember that weekend,
At least I remember you
Not the race, not the food
Just the moments, if any, we had

Back to school, nothing changed
I recognized you in the hall
We rarely spoke, I was afraid
I didn't know what to do

Spring comes with the next race
We met again, talked, hung out even
I remember you blush
As some guy misread our friendship

I was hopeful, I wanted it to be
I didn't know what to do
You already had a boyfriend
I didn't want to intrude, excuses

I remember you had straight A's
But you dated a drop-out
I didn't understand
I told myself, when you get a car

Next year comes upon us
You skipped the race
I ate at your McDonalds,
every chance I got

You would take breaks
Sit and chat with me
I have always cherished that
You made time for me

You had a boyfriend
Another worthless one
Should I reveal the truth?
I chose not to, fear

You went to college
I forgot to get a phone number
I was a senior, with nothing to do
I went to college

A year or so goes by
I see you where you are working
We talked for a minute
I crashed then

I remembered
I forgot
I regret
I remember

Years have passed
You have a family
I have one too
I still regret

I have lived my life, you lived yours
I found my love, and you found yours
I still remember
I still regret

What do I do?
I see you on myspace...
Do I start conversation now?
I am afraid
oh so utterly afraid.
