A Year And A Half Ago

A year and a half ago,

I saw you and you touched my soul,

I’ve been drawn to you ever since,

Without any control over it,

I did everything to get you to notice me,

I did it all for feelings that I can’t help but keep,

I talked you through problems and your pain,

I sat there and listened to you complain,

I even saw you through your own nickname,

I never called you anything that brought you shame.

 

A year ago we became friends,

We chilled and hanged at random dens,

Through marching band I learned your story,

Through everything I still saw your glory,

No matter how bad it ever became,

I was there for you just the same,

I started to see you care,

You started to be there.

 

I learned a secret you hide,

Then I joined too as if it should be mine,

We went and put on our pokerface and pretended we were cool,

But I was scared for me and you,

Your friends easily let me join,

Then that’s when I proved my point,

We were so much the same,

Exact I was insecure and scared to be lame,

I said yes to every hit and every bong,

Even though deep down I knew it was wrong.

 

As time pasted I had the problem too,

I was addicted just like you,

Your friends became my best,

Then they took me farther
