Even though you don't feel the same way

If I try hard enough right now 

I'll be able to imagine it clearly 

The dim lights, 

the damp grass. 

The soft air, 

even the way your hair fell to the right 

no matter how many times you pushed it back. 

I can even feel my emotions and excitement running through 

though now it is covered with a lump in my throat 

and a sheet of regret. 

I remember the way your friends huddled arounf you for a minute 

grinning and giggling like little girls 

when they saw you talking to me. 

yet what I remember most is when we were laying down on the marina 

and our feet were up on the fence with our backs on cement 

staring at the stars 

but really gazing at eachother 

and I've never seen someone look so flawless in the moonlight 

I''ve never even seen someone I've loved in real life  

Yet now that has changed 

for I can't see you anymore. 

I know it seems silly to be sad 

but when I saw out of the corner of my eye you shifting closer to me 

and when I closed my eyes but felt yours gazing at me 

I knew that this was how love is supposed to be 

And honestly I got attached really really easily. 

yet now I know to be more careful, 

and now I know what to look for. 

And since I love you 

I will not seek revenge for you losing interest. 

Since I love you, 

I will understand that the distance was the reason 

and you are not trying to be mean. 

And since I love you, I truly hope that we will stay friends 

for you are a wonderful person 

and you have given me a great example on what to look for. 

Yoou treated me with kindness and respect 

and you were not annoyed by what I did. 

You did not ignore me, 

and You did not smother me. 

I will keep my memories of you in my back pocket 

to think of, but not to be somber over. 

and since I love you, I must say thank you 

for setting great standards.
