I'll Never Forget You

Two years ago, I fell in love with you

And still I believe that one love was true

Your loving, tight hugs as you wrapped your arms around me

And kissed me on the cheek, where everyone could see

I remember your laughter, your grin, and your whispers

When you stole my first kiss, the feeling of your lips on mine still linger

Lips brushing against my ear, the murmur, "I love you"

And never could I express how much I loved you too

There were the arguments, the disapproval, demands from my parents that we should break apart

But nothing could stop us, for I was already giving you my heart

Comforting words, advice, opinions, you were always there

An honest best friend, a faithful lover, you still always care

But things have changed, you're in high school

Taking on a new personality, thinking you're so cool

Swearing, not caring, rude, and one drugs

Now, even with your sweetness, you're one of those fighting thugs

You're not the guy I fell in love with anymore

If I could stop thinking about you, maybe my heart wouldn't be so sore

The doggy you gave me for Christmas sits on my bed

Sometimes I hold it, and the tears still shed

I remember the thrill as my lips brushed against your ear

When you choked out, "I love you", at the end, eyes brimming with tears

There was the race of my heart whenever you even looked in my direction

Three years ago, the moment we locked eyes, we admitted we had a connection

Last July you rubbed circles on my hand as our fingers were entwined

Next July you made gestures as our friends turned their backs behind

Your hugs are still one of the ones I miss

I always remember them, and the romantic bliss

After two years, I have to finally move on

We're over, history, done, even with all the best memories to note on

From playgrounds to basketball to tag

To the fields to the pavement, or after school with my bag

You moved on, I have not

It just proves I'm not happy with what I've got

I have friends, crushes, but not you

I want to return to the past, it's true

I'd whisper, "I love you" until it was over

And be in your arms, and kiss you again, to also remember forever

I'd change so many things

No matter what punishment brings

I'll remember everything we had together, even if it brings sorrow

But I swear, that I'll never, ever, forget you, Carlo
