My bus ride companion, my childhood friend,
Though years have passed, some memories transcend.
I can’t recall your gentle gaze,
Your laughter's sound or specific days.
But when you’d speak, my world would gleam,
We’d run and laugh, in my childhood dreams.
When you liked that boy, my heart did dwell,
Misunderstood childhood love, a secret to myself
And when you moved, my world did break,
Your phone number, a cruel mistake.
Too short to dial, never meant to ring,
My confused heart, left wondering.
Now grown and wise, I see it clear,
The obsession I held was a crush so dear.
Though time has passed, some memories remain,
With new realizations, it was never just games
Dear friend, I cherish all that we shared,
The innocence, the joy, the dreams that we bared.
And though I can't recall your face tonight,
I truly hope life has been treating you alright.
