				Ode to 5th Grade Romance
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I wished for you upon a star 
On Birthday candles too 
But you were you 
And I was me 
And we were never meant to be 
 
We were always friends 
I thought no more 
How could it ever be? 
 
Time passed and we stayed friends of sorts, 
And then one night you called 
Beer, fun it’s all a blur 
I expected nothing more 
 
And then you phoned, and asked me out 
I didn’t know what to think 
I waited and waited you never showed. 
You crashed your car that night 
I pretended that’s why you never came 
But I knew it was hours later. 
 
Back to being friends 
Which was fine 
I never thought it would be more 
 
Years passed, we met here and there 
“he’s hitting on you” 
Never occurred to me you would be 
Why now? 
 
More years, I’m single now and you’re not 
We meet again 
Just friends I think, nothing more. 
Not meant to be. 
 
And then you call months later, 
Regretting years gone by. 
I admit I secretly loved you, 
You admit you secretly loved me. 
 
I’m alone and you’re with her. 
You’re still you 
And I’m still me 
And we were never meant to be.
