That was a day that I would like to reset

from sunup to sundown, all of the hope and regret

Those crazy memories still gets me upset

But my subconscious mind won’t let me forget…

Waking up excited, yup.. this will be the day

When finally I’ll have her look my way

Car keys, cool shades, fresh flowers on the fray

Romantic music in the CD just waiting to play…

Practicing lines in mind, oh what’s the use?

memorized them a thousand times, it ain’t news

The problem is they scramble when she’s in view

But this time I’ll tell her “I’m in love with you!”

Forty eight months of just staring and wishing

Today will mark the end of my wishful thinking

Just pick her up from work, then we’ll be dining

Finally her hands, at last! I’ll be holding…

Well, didn’t actually told her what I’m gonna do

Just wait for her outside the gates around 5:32

give her the flowers, and ask her out too

Damn, anticipation’s making my heart go dipsy-doo…

Moment of truth, she’s out of the gate

Glad my adrenalized driving didn’t make me late

My heart’s jumping at a caffeinated state

A whole new life’s coming to me at 5:48…

Started to greet her, but she turned away

As if I wasn’t there, waiting almost everyday

Her friends giggled, and I was a nervous wreck

As a hundred pair of eyes waited.. oh what the heck?

She breezed past me as if I was made of stone

And before I could reach out, she was already gone

Choosing a public ride, leaving me all alone

Everybody knew that I was in the busted zone…

The shades were useful after all, even if it’s dark

So I got in the car ready to make rubber marks

Hummed the engine, prepared for a screeching ride

but the handbrakes were up, and my engine died…

More laughter from onlookers, I deemed it’s for me

But got the corolla going to a speed of 93

I followed her ride closely to be wherever it will be

Not giving up easily, at least I’ll let her see…

Guess I stayed too close, as a police officer waved

Pulled me over to a shoulder that’s not paved

Damn ticket cost me all the bucks I saved

Still for the sight of her, I’ll be digging my grave..

Lost the public ride so no choice but wait

Parked not far from her house from 6 to 8

Asked myself later, why was she so late

So I gathered courage and knocked on the gate…

Somebody answered, too bad it’s not her

Yep, I was stupid enough not to guess she ain’t there

And the info I gathered was starting to make a tear

For she’s on a date with someone she holds so dear…

So there I was, finally with the courage to impress

Ended up unexpectedly lonely and depressed

My tripped ego asked me how low can I go

Just to tell her I love her, just to let her know…

Four years in the making, what else can I say

Maybe falling short will always be my chosen way

Mind, pride, common sense all told me to stay away

 But my heart got me stalking her the very next day…
