Hey uh... Not exactly sure if you even remember me.. or at least in the way that you remember. I know its been about 5 years since we talked. I remember that one birthday party by the beach in the saltwater pool, and I remember walking back together. And math class when I laughed so hard I got thrown out and we both had to wait in the rain for her to let us back in. Anyway I wasn't sure you remembered me at all I mean it's been forever. You didnt't even know that I liked you, we were only friends because my friends pretending to hate you. I really tried to hate you. But then we went to different schools, and I was pretty sure you wouldnt even remember my face.
That is until 9th grade picture day, when we locked eyes in the cafeteria, and I watched yours flicker with memories buried deep into time. You were definitly taller. And your hair was a littl scruffier, but it was you.
I didn't look the same at all. My hair was longer, I had braces and I was a little bit taller, and really skinny. I only saw you for a minute, but a minute was enough to remember. Then I lost you in the crowd.
And I definitely saw you ariund school that year. I only ever got the confidence to look up to see if you had seen me once. I was standing with a group of my friends outside of attendence, and you guys were by the hallway. I was starting to leave for 8th period, so I just thought what the hell you know. So I leaned into your view, only to find you gazing right back at me. I think time stopped for a second because everyone elses conversation started to die off in the distance. Then the bell rang, and the next week, school ended. I look different now. I believe one day I will see you again, hopefully if we ever go back to school. I dream to see you at prom. I will look different then too. I hope you still think about me.
