At final long last, I felt his embrace
Just as we said goodbye
An embrace to him and nothing more
To me a slight ray of hope
Quickly shattered like glass upon a cold cement floor
I've known for years not to keep my hopes up
Sophomore year, junior year
And now, senior year
I know I will have to get over him
Sometime
So they all say
I know I can never do it
The only true form of love I've felt aside from the Lord
He will always have a place in my heart
No one forgets their first love
Nor will I
I wish him to know how I feel, but that would be a crucial end to
friendship
If I lost him as a friend, I don't know what I would do
Some of you would laugh, hearing me
Hearing me say that I confide and find true friendship in a teacher
That I really would like to stay close to him, even if it IS just friends
He's too great a man to lose
If I could only explain his embrace
Warm and caring
It all happened so fast
"Have a nice summer."
"You too."
I'm not sure how long it lasted for time just seemed to stop
And we parted
For the summer
Summer, a word I don't care to hear of
It's a prison for me
But only one thing gets me through the summer
One thing to get me through this summer
And perhaps a savior
My knight in shining armor
To save me from a mid-summer slump
A mid-summer slump
