Still Fifteen

Ever since i was a little kid 
i had a crush on he
he always liked my big sister
a fact she couldnt see
i was his best friends little sister
and his little sisters best friend
i swore id stick by his side
until our lives came to an end
kayla liked my new boyfriend
back when we were kids
but he never saw that
not until i swore id be his
nervously i waited
when his sister came to me
and told me that it was he
that she was going to see
grown up by eight years now
ive expericanced heart break and love
ive learned many lessons
but never give up
he came to our party
and my heart beat went nuts
i felt my stomach quiver 
and my knees i think went numb
i waited by his side all night
and talked about this world
i loved his spirit and his mind
and hoped he loved this girl
too quiet i was being
i was staying much to shy
and so the red tape was cut
and man oh man did we fly
we talked and kissed and found ourselves
stairing at eachothers eyes
i remember he kissed me back
and quietly slipped out sigh
we never expected this to happen
to find our lips match so well 
to find our spirits happy 
like our hearts filled by the well 
sitting side by side at last
one day i knew that he'd by mine
my child hood crush
but eight years is an aweful long time
to grow feelings more than that
for now ill keep them to myself
until its the right time
and then ill kiss him slowly 
and let it out in a breathless sigh
at five years old i knew he would be mine
at fifteen he finally was
at fifty can you still be mine
ill spend my life with him
And we'll be forever in love
and we'll be sitting on our rocking chairs
talking about world peace
kissing beneath the setting sun
like we were still fifteen

omg oh my freaking god....another weird coincidence jay! I shit you not, I just got done listening to an old old favorite song of mine, It is by a girl band called Veruca Salt. I haven't heard it in at least 10 years. It is called "25" , if u haven't heard it. PLEASE YOUTUBE IT or something. It goes" when I was 5 I took a dive, when I was 10 I walked again, when I was 15 I kept my mind clean, at 20 I got plenty, When I was 25. When I was 25.then it rocks out. You will love it. This is weird.
