i still remember his name

i chased him and followed
my sixth grade crush

forever I'd love him
i was so sure

i bicycled past his house
each day right on time
in hopes of a glimpse
of his green sea eyes
and faded blue jeans

he never showed up
except in my mind

if i had talked to him
would i have changed
the course of time?

i heard he got into drugs
and disappeared

if i had been his friend, would
i have changed the course of time?

i bicycled past his house
each day, right on time
