Not so very long ago,
not so very far away
I looked upon your smiling face
as you walked beside me
down the street, after school.
Seven weeks ago and counting
I looked upon the face of an acquaintance
a guy I never thought of as more than a friend
and wanted more as I walked with you
down the street, after school.
Every day since
hoping to run into you
by chance, by fate, or by accident,
mostly ending up by myself, I walked
down the street, after school.
My journal can't tell a lie
about every day I've thought of you
every day for seven weeks
since that first look as I walked with you
down the street, after school.
I'll always remember that day,
not so very long ago
not so very far away
when I walked home with you
for the first time
down the street, after school

I have nothing more to say than that this was an extremely good write and reading made me feel happy for you inside. I hope that you remembering that day will bring back happy memories, not cruel love who would never let it be. I am sure that you would always look upon that day with joy, because how much better could a day get, than to realize your feelings for someone?!
