My 'Perfect' 4th of July

by Ice   Jul 6, 2007


The phone rings for a fourth time
I finally wake to reach it
Missed Call
A number I didn't noticed
End
4am?
So late
Maybe a prank?
Sleep again
<minutes later>
*ring*

It was his best friend
"So you didn't hear what happened?
He fell down some stairs
After he drank a fifth of captain"

"He said you were going to be here
So why didn't you show up?
I couldn't stop him from drinking
He kept refilling his cup"

"It's crazy
But the ambulance just took him away
There was blood everywhere
But this is all he could say..."

"I miss her, I love her
I just wish she was here
I screwed up again
For the second time this year"

They say you were drunk
& all you kept asking for was me
I feel bad that I kissed him now
Knowing you were thinking of me

It was only the 4th of July I had always dreamed
To be kissed at the grand finale

Sparks flew
But not the ones in my heart
For I longed to be with you
I have from the very start

I went to your house today
You said you don't remember a thing
Like falling down a flight of stairs
& probably confessing your love for me

I really wonder
About the feelings that you hide
& when I think to ask you
I get all worked up inside

What if I told you I loved you
& I have since the 5th grade
& still 8 years later
I love you til this day
