I Remember...

I remember when we were seven
When you were my best mate
The way we would draw pictures with chalk on the school basketball court
And run away laughing, hoping noone knew we drew it

I remember when we were eleven
When you got other friends and so did I
One day, it rained and i didn't have an umbrella
So we shared yours and jumped in puddles

I remember when we were 13
When I started liking you
Everytime you would look at me and smile
I felt like the happiest girl in the world

I remember when we were 16
When we had our graduation
You asked me to dance with you
And it was the happiest moment of my life

I remember when we were 18
You called me and told me you met a girl
And needed advice how to ask her out
My heart shattered like glass
After you hang up I cried

I rememer when I met your girlfriend
She was skinny,a brunette and had long manicured nails
I nearly cried when you told me how much you loved her
I wanted you to love me,not her

I remember when you called me and asked me to come over
I thought your girlfriend broke up with you
But when i got there, you told me you needed ring advice
You were going to propose to her

I remember that night when you proposed
It was at her 21st birthday party
You got on one knee in front of her and got out the ring
Everyone huggled around you
I don't think you noticed me, standing alone in the corner

I remember your wedding day
For the whole day, everything was blurry to me because I was trying not to cry
I didn't have any cake because she made it
And I hate her

And i still love you
Even when you married to her
I know its wrong but I just can't stop
I LOVE YOU <3
