When I First Met You(Baq In The Day) Poem by Shilesha Johnson

It happened in the summer
Going to that place was such a bummer
I didn’t want to go to a camp
Didn’t understand why anyone would want to
But the moment that changed
Was the moment that I met you
You were definitely not my first choice
Saw you around the way
Even occasionally heard your voice
Then one day I finally spoke
And surprisingly you replied
And from then on
You stuck by my side
We clicked
And were the closest of friends
Nothing could keep us split
Then one day you asked me out
I was skeptical but said yes after a while
I wanted to be your girl
That was when YOU became part of MY world
Would have sacrificed it all
And I must admit that you DID pick me up
Every time that I would fall
And now that I’m reminiscing
Talking everyday is something I’m kind of missing
I’m not thinking of any of the bad times
All of the good is on my mind
But the past is that past
And that’s where I have to keep that
But the great times we once shared
I know I will never forget
And I still haven’t
Even after all of these years
