Grade 4 Crush

Yeah

Walking down the street with a flower in my hand

Found it on some grass right beside a pot can

I tried to write a poem, but it wasn't making sense

It's okay if you don't like me as long as we can be friends

Summer just started, I just finished grade 4

My cheeks turning bright as I step up on your porch

See your dad through the window watching TV Channel 4

Hoping I don't stutter once you open up the door

Knock, knock, foot steps getting closer

Trynna stand tall keep my ground like a soldier

I don't talk to girls especially when they're older

Then it swings open, and the air feels colder

You sit beside me on the bus

When you're hungry share my lunch

Playing tag under the sun

My grade 4 crush

You were my grade 4 crush

Ayy, yeah

I'm in grade 12 now, I know we don't talk much

Unlike grade 4, when you had me starstruck

Heard you started working at the nursery, ayy

Saving up money for university

"You were a smart girl," that's what my mama always said

But it's hard to hang out, with different ways that we had

But I'm glad that we met, promise I won't forget

The things that we learned and the times that we spent

Like waiting for the bus under the rain under my raincoat

Laughing at my jokes because our thoughts were on the same boat

Sail up to the sea with our imagination

And everything we did had me fascinated

I know you felt the same way but wonder if you forgot it

When I think of memories my heart starts throbbing

Wish we kept going, but every journey's got to end

Hope you find the type of love we had once again
