Remember Me?

Note: This is so deliciously melodramatic. Oh, teenage me

Remember me?

I always got straight A’s in school

And I was never that popular, or cool

I usually had my nose in a book

Curled up quietly in my own little nook

Imagining stories of adventure, romance

Hoping that one day I might stand a chance…

Remember me?

I was called many things, like bookworm, geek

But that’s who I was, timid and meek

In my life I had never been out on a date

It seemed like I never would at my rate

Everyone knew where they were going but I

It felt like my whole life was just one big lie

Remember me?

I’d always admired you from afar

And around you it seemed I just wasn’t up to par

You did many things that I never could

And you dreamed many things that I never would

But you always showed me a smiling face

Gave me hope that, someday, I might win the race

Remember me?

Well I didn’t expect you to

After all I was me and you were, well, you

But what’s this, you say you do remember?

That day in September

You say everyone does?

Well, what a day that was

Remember me?

I didn’t think I was a person one would miss

With or without me everyone seemed in bliss

All I was looking for was a friend

Someone to, maybe, prevent this end

And yet here it is, the final conclusion

After all you really were but an illusion
