My Life in Rhyme

The Boy I Never Forget

I fell for the boy

they all called a jerk

and I promised to myself

I wouldn’t go buzzerk.

I fell for the part of you

that promised to always be true,

but now I know the part

that I’ve always seen through.

My friends, we told them

we could possibly last forever.

They laughed and smirked

and only replied “never.”

I’ll miss your kisses

and the way your eyes shined.

When looking down at me,

I couldn’t believe you were mine.

And especially I loved

the way your hand never left mine.

I don’t want to regret this,

but I fell too hard, too fast.

Yet, we promised ourselves,

we would make this last.

Then it ended with her kiss;

I hope it was sweet.

I can’t help but wonder what went on in your head.

But it doesn’t matter anyway

cuz she’s probably already in your bed.

My heart aches and my body’s tense

to know we lost our footing during the dance.

And I know this already,

no one will understand

the way that I wished

we’d never have a last kiss.

And forever, I really hope you know:

You’ll be the boy I never forget.
