Hands are shaking
Eyes glued to the floor
Clouds come rolling in
Outside it starts to pour

Heart is pounding now
Every beat rings in my ears
In my mind I'm remembering
Each and every year

Since we first met
I was seven, you were nine
I remember goldfish bowls
Coke cans and lemon meringue pie

The truth is...

I can hardly breathe now
I know I don't stand a chance
Willing myself to look away
But you catch my retreating glance

Defeated, the moment is over and gone
My last hope, Michael
