I didn’t

Think you would show up tonight

After how we left things, but I’m glad you made it.

As I play it cool for the rest of the night, I can’t help but wonder.

How do you see me now that we’re older and life isn’t as simple as it used to be?

Do you still care when I hurt?

Because I still care about how you feel, especially after our fight.

I want to bring it up, but we’re having a great time.

I know things are changing, and you don’t want to admit it, but I don’t see you as I used to.

Hopefully, tonight you will listen to me, and all I dreamed of saying to you will come out, and our ending to the past will be our beginning to the present.
