Fireworks

I'll never forget this time last year,
How I used to feel,
I never ever thought,
My broken heart would heal.

I loved you more than anything,
But you had broken my heart,
You had said that we're just friends,
That we were better off apart.

Crying myself to sleep every night,
Was keeping me from dying,
But soon I grew sick and tired,
Of my constant crying.

My friends dragged me out,
Saying I needed to have some fun,
So we went to the summer carnival,
Under that scorching hot sun.

Walking around with my girls,
Just upset me more,
I saw all those couples there,
And it made my heart so sore.

How I wanted to be there with you,
Just walking around the fair,
And strolling hand in hand,
Talking about how much we care.

Sitting here one year later,
Little did it seem,
That my wish would come true,
And I would get my dream.

We didn't walk hand in hand,
And we didn't even talk,
In fact all we did,
Was slowly and silently walk.

Instead I got something better,
Watching the fireworks that night,
With nothing to worry about,
And you in my sight.

But what really made me happy,
Was sitting under that clear sky,
Watching the fireworks with you,
And feeling lifted on high.

You held my hand so gently,
And whispered in my ear,
We shared a couple laughs,
Even though we couldn't hear.

That night under the fireworks,
I realized how much I loved you,
Even though you broke my heart once,
This time I know it's true.

**Eh not my best...but last year at the Home Days I went with my friends hoping to see my crush one day...who had broken my heart more than once...and I saw him there with another girl. He never knew I saw him, even though he told me about it later on. Now we're going out, and Home Days just rolled around. I didn't want him to think I was silly so I dragged him there and he was really unhappy. But we watched the fireworks the last night together and I realized how much I loved him, and how just one year ago I was dreaming of this night.**
