Jonny's Girl

Hm…I’m starting to forget
I try so hard to keep these memories
Of the time that we met
Tried so hard, they’ve become dreams
And now I’m finding it hard to believe…

What was it about you?
The way I walked into that classroom
The way you greeted and smiled
Though I had another, another –
Person.
In my world

I cast the thought away
Yet with each day
That I saw you
The feeling grew
And bloomed

April 2nd, was it?
I can scarcely remember
Sitting inside after a walk
So ashened and sobered
Eating ice cream
Chocolate, was it?
I can scarcely remember
Must be a dream

Yet, I remember so vividly
You told me that apparently
He stole your heart, and broke it.
That was when my heart sank
Like sun cast away from my world
And I thought to myself then
How I wanted Jonny’s girl

Jonny was a friend
Like an older brother
But when I found out then
I could look at him no longer
Cause I wanted Jonny’s girl

The seventh, was it?
Must have been
Cause I risked a friend
To ask you boldly
Hoping that eventually
You’d be mine.
“What if I said I really liked you?”
Was all that came through

You looked at me and said no
I somehow knew this was how it’d go
But I never believed
That a week from then
The seventeenth I remember
Would be when you held my hand.

Now at night I sometimes lie awake
Trying to remember our hugs
And I realize one thing
You aren’t the girl I fell for
Not the same love
Not anymore
But still a close friend at heart
And to me, that’s just enough
