Before the summer started and school was still in session
We were caught up with exams and any leftover lesson
We tried our best to cram for any last minute test
Not giving much thought to our upcoming summer rest

We once had plans on becoming more than just friends
Our relationship seemed to grow and didn’t appear to have limits or ends
We decided weeks before we would be “together” at the end of school
But one night I found out things that made me feel like a fool

A fool to believe that you and me could ever exist
What you decided that night made me curl my hands into fists
I knew that our summers would be busy and such
I had my trips and you had yours, but if we tried we could’ve kept in touch

You said that we were better off friends for now
And that it’s our busy schedules fault for not letting us allow
I agreed, trying to avoid the feeling of my heart sinking
It’s always been that way; no one ever knows my true feeling

You said before school let out
That we would fit in our busy summer schedules to try to hangout
A week and a weekend went by in a flash
Pretty soon, I would leave C-well in a dash

I said all my good-byes to my friends the night before
That included you, whom appeared to be sad that I was walking out the
“door”
I was off on a 3-week trip that would occupy me for days to come
I had too many things to forget and to overcome

One night I felt homesick and my heart was so sore
That I called and talked to you only to notice you didn’t care about me
anymore
After that night, I did my best to keep you out of my mind
That my silly feelings for you had made me so blind

I returned from my trip, saddened leaving my new friends
I promised them I would keep in touch, but you, it all depends
A few days after my return you left on your family trip
I figured why wait, I needed to get a grip

The past few weeks went by and I realized more
That nothing is like what it used to be before
We don’t keep in touch and we don’t ever talk
Maybe it’s time for me to take a walk

I can’t keep thinking that you’re gonna call
I can’t keep thinking that you’ll be there to catch me when I fall
I think it’s time for me to move on and find someone new
But it’s still hard to forget your promise and forget about you

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This might be the most pointless poem ever… but I just needed
to get these feelings out in this poem just to sort out my mind… Please
comment; maybe you can help with my situation…
