AG

 

It was over a decade ago

We were in the fifth grade

I doubt you even remember it

I bet you don’t even remember my name

 

You’d never been very kind to me

I had no reason to expect you to be

Then you said something I can’t forget

Something that negated all the rest

 

I could tell you were sincere

It wasn’t your usual mocking tone

You really meant the words you spoke

The words I can still hear echoing

 

You didn’t realize the impact

That simple comment had on me

You didn’t understand the impression

You were leaving when you spoke it

 

I bet you don’t even remember it

We were only ten at the time

I’m sure to you it didn’t meant that much

But know to me it meant everything
