no regrets, don't forget

i don't want to be your regret.
i want to be the mistake you don't want to take back.
and i want you to remember me.

every day you ask me to never forget you;
like i could ever forget a smile like that.
as it is, you never leave my mind.

sometimes i think what it would have been like
if i had never looked beyond what i learned last year
if i had only thought of you as a jerk.

i'm so glad i trusted you to be who you are.
i just want to make a difference in your life.
i really don't want to be forgotten.

i don't want to be your regret.
i want to be the mistake you don't want to take back.
and i need you to remember me.
