For old times sake
by Aaron Howard
For old times sake
It was late in the evening when I walked into the lobby
since Id been on a long road trip, fancying my hobby
and then it happened all of a sudden, our eyes had met.
I suddenly realized Id lost the old school bet
Itd been over a decade since wed spoke
and in each others mind was an on-running joke
A love that surpassed the others
and surprised all the fathers and mothers..
A love that burned in our minds for years
and now it came down to a moment that clears.
I saw the slight shock in her eyes, as I approached her
and confessed that my intentions were pure.
We sat down on the couch and talked for a few
about whered wed been, whatd we do
We laughed over high school and the errors wed made
and about how long it took for the pain to fade
In that lobby, we hallucinated in each others eyes
and summed it up in dreams about those past goodbyes
We hugged and kissed and went separate lives
finding jobs, husbands and wives
A second romance would devastate
so we noticeably chose to deviate
and just leave it at conversate
just for old times sake.
