oh hi, hello
remember me? the girl who loved you
since fifth grade, actually,
yeah- that was me.

remember when i gave you my snacks?
i was 11, and thought i was in love.
i made you a christmas card.
i stood there smiling,
waiting for you to look back.

and our first year of high school.
we entered the building together,
not ready to face
the journey ahead of us.
it was nice having someone beside me.

remember sophomore year?
i figured that you forgot me-
since you were so busy with other people.
but i was still the girl
who smiled at you,
waiting for you to look back

so here i am, let me reintroduce myself
hello. i'm the girl who loved you for 4 years,
and i'm also the girl
that you failed to see.
and tragically, i gave up on you
after you fell in love with me.
