english class; freshman year, we locked eyes for the first time and i instantly had this feeling, i know in my heart you did too. i remember catching you staring at me, just know my heart was pounding. i know how badly we wanted to talk but our fear got in the way, i regret that every time i hear your name. fast forward junior year i see you with your girlfriend, you guys seem happy so i try and let you go. but you had the nerve to gaze at me; thinking what we could’ve been, i could see the regret in your eyes. we’re 19 now, i think about you now and then. all i want to know is if what we had was real?
