Being bored out of my mind,
Sitting in class the first day
The teacher going on and on,
While I struggle to stay awake.

I look across the room,
And much to my suprise,
The memories come flooding back
As I look into your eyes.

I am shocked that I remember you.
We were never really friends.
All I had was a little crush,
The kind that quickly ends.

Here you are in my class.
Though I never thought I'd see,
A single friend I left behind,
When I moved to Tennessee.

We both had time to grow up.
Those four years have come and gone.
But I still remember that whole week,
When I thought you were The One.

That was just so childish.
Only a little girl's sweet dream.
But it's still nice to see you,
My past, caught up with me.

This poem was very good!! i just recently moved and i hope one day in the future i will run into my friends from where i used to live!! i know exactly what you mean about the one week crushes and all you think about is how much you really wanna go out with them and stuff and then it quickly fades away!! cute poem!! i really like it!!< !signature-->

Love is the greatest feeling of all...but heartbreak is the worst feeling you can imagine.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words.  They always mean alot to me.

Erin: To answer your question, yeah it really happened...This guy Josh was in either 7th or 8th grade with me back in Louisiana, and he just happened to be in my English IV class this year.  It's really cool though, because I wasn't even supposed to be at this school, but my parents split, so things happen.  A lucky twist of fate really.
