I don't think I've ever really told anybody, not even my best friends, about exactly why I love this song so much. Well, maybe I can begin to right here, right now.
Ever since I first heard this song, I knew that this was about him and me. Somehow, I've thought (and still think it) that this was.... almost a prophecy of what was going to happen between us. I wanted, so badly, to perform this song at our End-of-Year Talent Show, but, I received a sore throat the week of the tryouts. I guess that, maybe, I wasn't supposed to sing it to him for the last year he would be here at our school, but I don't know, and I guess I'll never know.
Whenever I find a song I absolutely adore, I imagine and plan out how I would perform it if I were the singer of this song at a concert - from the changing of clothes to the actions to the lights, I'll just think of how I could make it perfect. Maybe I got a bit carried away with my dreams, but I even thought of how I would piece it all together if I were going to make this song into a music video. To point out the very specific parts, however, I envisioned the last day of school, coming out of the building, and watching him with his friends, just laughing and spending some time together before they boarded the school bus that was going to take him away from me.
I've always been praying that this year was just the very first page of our story, and that it doesn't end here. At first, when the knowledge of him going to another school the following year was just a rumor, I was hoping so hard that he wouldn't have to leave, but, even though he has left, I'm just so glad that I'm lucky enough to be able to see him in high school. I don't want to know how crushed and devastated I would have been on the last day of school - and even now - if I knew that I was never going to see him again. That would just be too much.
