Remember This

Excuse me I know you don’t know me and I don’t know you but… Right now I just want to take this time and live in this moment Just to remember this day when I first came up to you and said… Hey Before June 5th comes and the bell rings And we all push and scream to collect our things I just wanted to come up to you and say… Hey I mean it’s not just me I hope you try to remember this too Remember this day when we met and it all began The reason why I wake up in the morning and see this bracelet on my hand So I won’t wonder why I talk to you all night about my dreams and my frights and you say it’s alright because the bugs don’t bite Or think why you know my secrets and I know yours Or why we eat lunch together on the hallway floors and… It was all because of this day when I sat next to you and said… Hey Try to remember this Try to remember me Before we start to walk around to say this was our last or sign each other’s book filled with memories of our past Before we all meet in our alphabetical seats in front of our families Before it’s too late Because I don’t know what the future holds Or whether or not our friendship will stay strong or come to a close But all that I need to know is that you will remember this Because I don’t want your memory to forget me Please don’t let this friendship we share split away Just let me know in reassurance that you will forever remember today Because I know you’ll make friends while you’re away in college And this day might get pushed back by all your new goals and knowledge But just know that I’ll always be here with this memory sitting nice and polished So just remember right here Here where I stand and where I made my mark Not where we started from the bottom But where we started from the start So when June 6th comes And we wear our gowns on our arms And throw our caps to the sky I will turn to look at you Not with the look of saying goodbye But with the look for when the next time I see you You’ll be the first one to say Hi
