Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
First time I saw you,
Crowded hallway, late afternoon,
Leaning on your locker,
Blue blazer hanging loose.
The world in slow motion,
The sound turned right down,
I stood there pretending,
I wasn’t looking now.
Schoolyard congregation,
Glancing through the crowd,
Conversations muted,
Looking all around.
Captured in a photo,
Not mine to keep,
You didn’t need to pose,
It came so naturally.
I remember you,
Clearer than passing years,
Some things fade away,
Some stay right here.
I remember you,
Swaying off to the side,
A little out of focus,
And slightly out of time.
Pontoon in the water,
You climbed on, I tried to hide,
Your sun-soaked silhouette
Forever burned into my mind.
But I couldn’t look away,
Tried to play it cool somehow,
Head and heart racing,
I can still see you now.
The music pounded loudly,
Coloured lights filled the room,
The sound made the shadows dance,
I loved the way you moved.
Someone close beside you,
I tried not to stare,
Jealousy came to greet me,
And left me stranded there.
I remember you,
Clearer than passing years,
Some things fade away,
Some stay right here.
I remember you,
Swaying off to the side,
A little out of focus,
And slightly out of time.
I saw you coming down the stairs,
You took my breath away,
We chatted briefly then you left,
But I wish that you had stayed.
Years passed, they came and went,
We crossed paths now and then,
I could not tell you what I felt,
And I’m sorry I never did.
We met again in another life,
I fell in love with you,
It happened fast but didn’t last,
You were so hard to lose.
My phone lies silent,
Messages get no reply,
We blazed brightly for a moment,
A flame I keep alight.
Some days linger,
Some slip away,
Some people stay,
Some drift away.
Some mistakes we make,
Are hard to recognise,
Appearing in the mirror,
Only after we’ve passed by.
I keep your cards in a drawer,
I reed them every now and then,
I visit this little town
To feel close to you again.
Walking empty streets,
Looking back, I wonder why,
Reliving perfect memories,
Of a perfect time.
I remember you,
Clearer than passing years,
Some things fade away,
Some stay right here.
I remember you,
Swaying off to the side,
A little out of focus
And slightly out of time.
I remember you,
Clearer than passing years,
Some things fade away,
Some stay right here.
I remember you,
Swaying off to the side,
A little out of focus
And slightly out of time.
