Before we heard goodbye

by Kristen   May 28, 2007


I remember that new pair of blue jeans and man, your boots sure did shine
you had on my favorite cologne
I knew what was on your mind
You picked me up in that mustang
you were right on time

had the radio on, it was playing our song
You took me to a field of flowers that night
We sat down and watched the sky turn to night
You said we needed to talk
And I said I also had something to tell you
You told me to go first
So I said well babe I’m 3 months pregnant
He started to cry and he tried to smile at me
But he couldn’t
0you took me by my hands and said Chrissie you know I love you
I said yes I know
Well Chrissie my dad does not like you
So what are you trying to say Jake?
I can’t see you anymore
Because if I keep on seeing you he won’t pay my college intuition
What I want to know is can we still be friends?
I don’t know Jake
We were quiet for a minute or two
Then he had asked if the baby was a boy what are you going to name him?
I said I thought about Ryan lee Jacobs
And if it’s a girl?
I thought about alexia Marie Jacobs
But lexis for short
Well you better go home Jake
I’ll walk
No I’ll take you home
No it’ll hurt so much to smell your scent some more
I mean, why doesn’t your dad, not like me
I don’t know, Chrissie
Don’t call me that, it’s Kristen
Ok!
Well go! Go home to your daddy

I want to remember that loving feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

That summer night down at the levee
You gave me your ring on a chain
There would never be another for me
Tell me why does everything always have to change

Just because you daddy hates me
Jake Ryan Jacobs I’ll always love you
Yeah me too Chrissie, hey I mean
No it’s ok you can still call me that
All right I’ll see you around.
