That one afternoon

Replays often in my mind.

I wonder if you ever think about it too.

If you feel the same way about that day.

Maybe it didn’t mean much to you,

But to me it was everything.

I had never felt like that before.

So careless.

So innocent.

So young.

I hadn’t thought about how I looked

Or what others were thinking about.

I was with you.

And that was all that mattered to me.

I was with someone

Who made me laugh.

Who made me feel so pure and innocent.

I wonder if you felt what I felt too.

Maybe that’s why

We’ve always shared secret smiles.

Secret smiles that are always playing through my mind.

And maybe you never look back on that day

And maybe it was only great for me

But it was special.

And whenever I think about you

Images of that one special day flood back.

I think about all the laughs we shared

All the teasing and silliness

But when I think about giving up hope

That you and I will never be

You look at me with a twinkle in your eye

And a secret smile placed on your lips.
