Travis' Pov:

I flopped down on my bed and sighed. That didn't go the way I wanted it to.... I closed my eyes and memories of our High School years flooded my mind.

Just how many years, do you when?
The time that we met back in spring then
You smiled politely, quietly across the room, I looked again

The day we first met was during the beginning of spring... She had just moved and had been transferred to my school and into my class. I was late that day and when I walked in she looked up from a sketchbook and smiled at me.

Even though we had our different classes too
I made a hundred excuses just to see you
If you knew

We didn't have a lot of classes together so I often made excuses to leave my class and walk past her class and sneak a peek inside. If only she knew.

Just when was the time that we first  spoke
Was it me that broke the ice with a bad joke
Before I knew we started talking randomly between us two

I don't remember the exact day we first spoke. Im pretty sure I just walked up to her and tried a pick up line and failed miserably. But before I knew it we were talking randomly between us every now and then.

Even through the teasing you were calm and cool
It somehow brought closer us when in school
Looking back I'm such a fool

A lot of our fellow classmates noticed we were talking and often teased us and said we were dating and would write our names in hearts on the black boards. Somehow we ended up becoming better friends through it all. She was so calm and collected... Looking back at it all... Im just a big idiot...

Why did I not try, to just reach past that ten centimeter gap
Would our "today" be different then perhaps?
Just confess, don't supress, all the feelings that I held inside so true
I could reach out to you
If I tried

Why didn't I just try and close the gap between us... Wouldn't today have been different if I had? Just tell her the truth about it all... Don't keep it bundled up inside... They're only the truth.... I could reach out to het if I tried..... But.....

She's all I see
Does she like me?
She just smiles, is that implied?
What she feels inside

Shes all I see... No one else its only her... Does she like me? Even in the slightest bit... She always smiled at me... But did that imply that she liked me... Did it show how she felt inside or...

Even now I remember all the pages marked together
With the times we shared you and me
In our book, our first love will always be

Our little secret

No one would know what either of us felt.

How I wonder and ponder, was I more than just a page in your story
Though we spoke so briefly you're the one for me
Though the chapter we shared within our stories seemed so short back in the past
Could we maybe stay together at last
But the pages turn and we're no longer kids anymore
Wonders in store

Was I just a page in her story? Or was I more... Though our conversations were short.... I know shes the one for me... Though our time spent together seems short now... Maybe we could be together at last.... But... Time has passed and we aren't kids anymore... Who knows what will happen next....

But the time has come to close the book of my first love again
Wish it never would end

Once again its time to put the memories to the side and forget about my first love for now... I wish it would never end... But every story has its end...

Why did I not try, to just reach past that ten centimeter gap

Why didn't I just close that small gap...

I snapped out of my thoughts and realized tears were streaming down my face. I just want her to give me a chance... And Im going to get that chance! I cant live without her. Ive come to realize that. Ive loved her ever since the day we first met. If I had only closed that gap sooner... I need to be able to call her mine before its too late! I need to get a chance with her before she finds someone else! No matter what it takes! I will show her how much I love her!
