Know Now, Knew Then.

I know a boy. He makes me nervous, the way he always smiles and twists his fingers together.

I know a boy. He makes me laugh, with his corny jokes and silly faces. 

I know a boy. He's the one for me, I just know it. 

I know a boy. He's my friend, he tells me everything that runs through his mind.

I know a boy. He's got me in a trance, every word that escapes his lips, give me life.

I know a boy. He brings out the best in me, when he smiles it's contagious. 

I know a boy. He told me today that he likes my friend. 

I know a boy, he unknowingly crushed my heart, shattered to pieces.

I knew a boy. I watch over him now, and I smile, because I know he is happy. 

I knew a girl. I know she watches over me, so I try my best to be happy.

I knew a girl. She was my friend, and I loved her.

I love, well sort of hate, how much I can relate to this! What an awful feeling but you expressed it great!

This is both heart warming and heart breaking.
I love the emotion, repetition and how present turns to past.
