Once I awoke today, he popped into my mind. I can't get him off my mind either. It's been like this ever since that day.. that day I can't seem to forget about.
I can honestly say
You've been on my mind
Since I woke up today
I glanced over at our picture sitting on my coffee table. We were happy together. I thought about that time we took the picture.. At the beach on our first date. But at least I can think of the happy memories. I couldn't help but let a tear fall down my cheek. Why'd he do this to me?
I look at your photograph all the time
These memories come back to life.
And I don't mind.
-Flashback-
"Anna Marie, would you like to dance?" Nick asked me. It was night time now, and we were on the deck at my house. Me and my family live next to the beach so the waves hitting against rocks are soothing to me. "But Nick, there's no music playing." I replied. "It doesn't matter as long as I have you to hold in my arms." He said to me. He sure does know how to sweet talk a girl. I blushed as I got up from the chair and put my arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me closer and I held onto him. I closed my eyes, swaying along with Nick to our own beat. He stopped as we stared into each others eyes. He leaned down and kissed me and sparks went off. I'll never forget that night I shared my first kiss. And with Nick made it 10 times better. Sometimes, I can still feel that kiss we shared together.
-End Flashback-
I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
But it hit me, that night he called me to meet him at the park.. That one word that I cannot stand.
-Flashback-
My cell's ringtone went off and I ran over to it to see "Nick<3" flashing on the screen. "Hello?" I answered excitedly. "Hey, can you meet me at the park?" Nick sounded worried. "Oh sure." I replied. I went over to the park, not sure what to expect. "Hey Nick!" I said, hugging him. He hugged back. "Ana.. I think we should break up." He said. "W-what..?" I said, not sure if I heard right. "I think it'd be best for us if we broke up. Just for now, I'm going on tour for a couple months." I teared up, standing there with my arms folded. "I'm sorry, Anna. Goodbye." He kissed my cheek and walked off. A tear fell down my cheek, once again.
-End Flashback-
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
A memory I want to forget
Is goodbye
I got off my bed and walked over to my iHome and played "At the Beginning" from the movie Anastasia. That was our song.. I let my tears fall freely down my face as I sang along. Maybe it's time to call him? No, I shouldn't.. He probably wouldn't even pick up. Why should I be the one calling anyways? He broke up with me. I threw my phone on my pillow.
I woke up this morning
And played our song
And through my tears I sang along
I picked up the phone and then
Put it down
Cause I knowI'm wasting my time
I sat back down on my bed to listen to our song, over and over for about an hour. Just thinking of all those great times we had together. I can't help but think about it. To think about that day he told me that word I'll never forget.
I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
I remember those simple things
I remember 'till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
A memory I want to forget
Then my cell phone starting ringing. That ringtone is only set for Nick. Can that actually be him? Maybe it's Joe or Kevin. I picked up my phone, about to click the green button but thought.. Maybe he called the wrong number..? No, it can't be going for that long, I'll answer it anyways.
Suddenly my cell phone's blowing up
With your ring tone
I hesitate but answer it anyway
You sound so alone
"Hello?" I said into the phone. "H-hey, Anna, it's me.. Nick." He said, quietly. "Hey Nick. What's up?" I said, my voice cracking from all the crying. "I'm sorry Anna! I only broke up with you because I was going on tour and I didn't want you to stay home waiting for me all the time. When I broke up with you, it wasn't supposed to hurt you." he said. I was about to reply, when he started talking again. "I can't help but think our first date. We shared our first kiss that day. And when we danced.. You're always on my mind. Anna, I'm so sorry." He said. "Nick, I- I don't know what to say.." I said. I was shocked by his words.
And I'm surprised to hear you say
You remember when we kissed
You still feel it on your lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
You remember those simple things
We talked 'till we cried
"Anna, I'm sorry I broke your heart. I honestly didn't want that to happen."
You said that your biggest regret
The one that you wish I'd forget
Is saying goodbye
"Nick, I forgive you. You're always on my mind too." I replied. "Well, come to your front door." he said. I raised an eyebrow and ran out my bedroom and downstairs to the front door. I opened the door to see Nick smiling, holding a bouquet of roses. I smiled and stepped out and we stared into each others eyes. He pulled me into a hug and I never wanted to let go.
"Anna, I promise you right now, I'll never say goodbye again. I swear." He said.
I sniffled, from my crying and looked him in the eyes. Right then and there, I trusted Nick with his promise.
"I love you, Anna." He said.
"I love you too, Nick. I always have."
