I remember that time we met
You stood on that stage and did your thing
I was so amazed by your raw talent
You smiled at me
I smiled back

You were my best friend, though
I only knew you for a minute
You asked me to hang out
I resounded with a yes
You seemed like a great person

I realize now that we’re near the end
You have no plans this summer, but
I do --I am going to be gone
You might forget me
I know you care though

You leave first; college will take you
I leave last, without you
You’re my best friend
I don’t know what I’ll do
You’ll be fine; you’ll make it through

I hope I don’t lose you next year
You’ll be making tons of new friends
I will be too
You just don’t forget that first stage
I won’t forget.
