I Really Did Like You Susan Fewster

I really did like you Susan Fewster. Even when I said, 'Well I don't like her!' When you were absent from school that day And your classmates made me aware When they told me that you liked me and I blurted out, 'Well I don't like her!' Please forgive me, I was childish, I was shy and I really, really did care My mouth may have blurted out those words, But my heart said something else, I was just embarrassed, young and stupid, And I thought that's what Boys were supposed to say But I really did like you Susan Fewster You were the modernist girl in 3B But I was shocked and maybe a little amazed that day When your friends said That you actually liked me Because there were so many other boys in the class Good looking and full of swagger And I sadly regret that day when I plunged teenage loves young dagger And your 'friends' just couldn't wait to tell you Those hurtful words I said Each word hammering the anvil And left ringing in my head And after that day you tried to show, Your dislike for me But just before you left the school I had one last opportunity To say the words, to put things right, but I just sat there silently, Childishly believing that you might actually show some pity for me And it's haunted me through the years as I've thought about Those cruel words I said At such a tender age, killing love stone dead So finally, here are the words that I truly always wanted to say, That I really did like you Susan Fewster You were the modernist girl in 3B You were pretty, you were lovely And I'm glad that you once had a moment for me.
