Time has passed us so quickly,
Since the first feelings I felt for you...

I don’t know why I am doing this,
But I know I can not cease...

I know just how you are feeling,
I walked this path about a year ago...

Those scars upon my skin,
Those words within my rhyme...

I knew just who you were
from the moment I saw your face...

For Elisha
I picked up my pen and started to write a hate...

I felt as if I’d swallowed nails,
I’d only looked at you...

I’m either stamping on thin ice or dancing...
I’m taking a risk in this dangerous desire...

I idolized her, admired her,
I thought she was a star...

I’m not dumb, strange and mysterious,
I’m just not poised, dignified or serious...

Standing and just watching,
Even though they told me not to stay...

I try blinking away the tears,
that fall for this day last year...
