Remembering love

I remember the first moment i met you
you had the cutest smile
i thought of you as just another boy
but i wanted you all the while

i remember our first conversation
we talked about my homebase
you said all the girls were crazy
i was crazy for you in that place

i remember you're 18th birthday
we left you a message on your phone
although i was only 14 then
i wanted you to want me for your own

i remember telling you how i felt
i was so scared you wouldn't feel the same
but you told me that you liked me too
and instantly happiness came

i remember you left during winter break
and we didn't talk for days
i cried myself to sleep a lot
my happiness was so far away

i remember you said we should just be friends
i thought you didn't really care
so i tried and tried to move on
but you, you didn't dare

i remember my feelings slipping away
i thought they were truly gone
but we talked one night on the phone
and i realized i never moved on

i remember when you told me you loved me
and i wondered how life could get better
i told i loved you too
and i hoped we'd always be together

i remember about a month later
that you told me it had to end
you said you didn't want to hurt me
you wanted to be my friend

i remember sitting in my room
crying and staring at the wall
listening to that sad, sad song
wondering why i had to fall

i remember talking to a new guy
one i didn't really know
i was careless, and flirted
and realized my broken heart had to go

i remember talking to you
and deciding it was okay to be friends
happiness started to return
and i mended the fraying ends

i remember not moving on
but i think that's okay
eventually i'll find someone else
it just won't be today

to this day i still love you
part of me will always hold on
but only because you were my first love
now, the rest of me has moved on
