as i said my last goodbye
which was really a high
a flashback appeared
the day you walked into my class
the first time i talked to you
the jokes we had
the times i defended you
walking to our next class together
finding out everything about you
the day i blew it
saying goodbye this last time
which was really a hi
and for the first time
i really cried
because like it or not you were the one thing
i was leaving and would miss
