The One That Got Away

We came together to look out from our respective balconies He lived in the opposite house from me This went on all summer, I felt all warm and fuzzy The day he left for college he waved goodbye to me I looked sad, I felt bad, from now on it was summer love for me. The next time I saw him he had grown taller, My heart skipped a beat it was a repeat of a visual treat He caught my gaze and set it ablaze But this time around he made it a point to talk to me. We would catch glimpse’s of each other Like the sun catches the fresh new leaves Love blossomed this year, it was summer love for both under the shadow of the balcony. His father held an Army Job and got a transfer He left one day from the house opposite to me Time flew by, and we moved our separate ways He was my first love, the one that got away.
