Not Forgotten

Once upon a time, Carmen was a friend of mine
She lived a few houses down, wasn’t hard to find
I’d go down the block, we talk on the sidewalk
About our school days, or new toys we just got
See, this was 6th grade, young kids feeling free
Fantasizing bout one day who we’ll be
And who will be the one to make it feel complete
And Carmen said she had a cousin I should meet
Her name was Melanie, Carmen started telling me
Some things about her cousin, effectively compelling me
…I said I couldn’t wait, just let me know the date
And we can spend some time together, leave the rest to fate
And when the time came, it was like first sight
I think I kissed her on the cheek on the first night
We liked to hold hands, and go on long walks
And talk about the future until time’s lost

We used to get in trouble for getting back late
The street lights were the enemy I used to HATE
But our time was short, you lived so far away
We had to wait for the next vacation day
Hoped you came my way, so we could reconvene
Had to settle for the phone calls in-between
But that didn’t last, parents could protective
We were still young, but felt so connected
I put your name in a rhyme back in ’82
I really thought that our love was gonna make it through
I always been a dreamer, I always cared deep
I always had a soft spot for some mystique
For 12 year old me, Melanie was god sent
Been gone since, but I guarantee she’s not forgotten
