A Year Ago

One year ago I dressed up Just to walk to class In case I ran into you on the way There or on the way back (on the way back home) Then on a Tuesday I finally did But I had to hide how big I was smiling Cause I didn't want you to read my heart or my head In case I was alone in it And that was a year ago One year ago we stood on the lawn Talking as people filtered around us And they left as the sun Clocked out and the stars turned on A friend passed by Asked what we were still doing We froze under telltale moonlight Then you walked me home and said goodnight I watched from the window till you were out of sight And that was a year ago Now I don't have to worry that I'm caught up in my imagination I know you reciprocate my admiration A year ago I didn't know Who you would be to me now One year ago I sat down at a dinner date And I was so nervous that I could barely touch my plate The humidity unraveled the curls in my hair My legs were shaking under the table But looking up I saw you there And I knew it was right even though I was scared And that was a year ago And now I can see you're exactly who my heart has needed You've patiently held my hand while the waves of my worries have all receded A year ago I didn't know who you would be to me now A year ago I didn't know who you would be to me now
