August 15th
I met you on the 15th of August
told my friend I didn’t like you
but I wasn’t being honest
because I already made someone else a promise,
a week went by, you’re still on my mind
if she knows how I’m feeling she won’t say anything
and maybe if I meet you when we’re older,
I’ll be mature enough to love you
