Remember Me?

Remember me?

I am the boy who sought friendship;

The boy you turned away.

I the boy who asked you

If I too might play.

I the face at window

When your party was inside,

I the lonely figure

That walked away and cried.

I the one who hung around

A punchbag for your games.

Someone you kick and beat,

Someone to call names.

But how strange is the change

After time has hurried by,

Four years have passed since then

Now I'm not so quick to cry.

I'm bigger and I'm stronger,

I've grown a foot in height,

Suddenly I'M popular

And YOU'RE left out the light.

I could, if I wanted,

Be so unkind to you.

I would only have to say

And the other boys would do.

But the memory of my pain

Holds back the revenge I'D planned

And instead, I feel much stronger

By offering you my hand
