For Nick

for him, because I still love him

They say you’ll never forget that one first love

And for some reason years later

You’re still the one I think of.

 

Did you know I’m an artist?

My work covers the walls.

Did you know I’m an author?

My writing has gone so far.

Did you know I have a new style?

I’m not the same as I once was.

 

Did you say you were a scientist?

Is it still your dream?

Did you say you were an actor?

Have you played your role well?

Did you say you loved her too?

Did you ever remember me?

 

Do you wish we would meet again?

Do you wish it was the same?

Do you wish nothing had changed?

I wish I could see your face.

I wish we could start over.

I wish, oh god do I wish…

 

They say you’ll never forget your first love

And for some reason

I can’t forget you.
