Oppressive Dejection

Remembering high school, and trying to forget.

I remember back in high school
I didn't talk to you that much,
But I'd cherish when you looked at me,
And remember every touch.

I wanted to be there for you
Every inch of every mile,
'Cause when I was around you
You made me feel worthwhile.

Every day I went to school
Did you know it was all for you?
I only passed my classes
So that I could be with you.

And then that guy showed up,
Said he'd just moved into town,
You worshiped him so zealously
You'd think he had a crown.

When you started seeing him
I felt empty inside;
I felt as if I had been stabbed.
I'd wished that I had died.

Now I sit here sad, reflecting
On things that happened long ago.
I just wanted to tell you that,
I felt that you should know.

Yeah, those were the days, longing for what you don't have. It brought me back. Nice work
Thank you for entering my contest

I love you too, Willy. lol.
This was great. You did rhyme "you" with "you" in the third stanza, but it was still good.
