Rocky Loves Emily

She would call me we would talk for hours sometimes about nothing
Just to hear her voice, angelic, I swear I could hear her blushing
When she told me that she liked me I said I already knew
Because her friend had told my friend I think they like each other too
We could go on a double date like we was playing Double Dribble
Used to play that game when I was little
Little did I know that'd I'd be
Fallin for this girl like her name was Alicia Keys
She said to key to life was to never wonder somebody else's dreams
Funny you should say that I've been thinking about you
So I hope that you sit and think of all the things I wanna do to you
Who do you wanna be when you get older and voluptuous
I ain't say the second part cause she probably wouldn't fuck wit it
She was a proper girl, I think she went to private school
But I learned later on those girls are more promiscuous than dudes
I could take you out for some food or we could just go catch a movie
Or just lay and watch the stars
And let the love move through me and you

I don't know much about life, but I know I wanna do it with you
Let's put it all on the line, c'mon baby what do we gotta lose
Just you and me, no one can see, how this was meant to be
Let's take a chance, no song and dance, and make some memories

Things went well for a couple months, I thought she was the one for me
She wrote me letters, she made me better, she was the company
That I always wanted, but didn't know that I needed
She had this confidence about her but it never felt conceded
We would look into each other eyes it seemed we wouldn't even blink
I think we said I love you to each other at the skating rink
I had a pizza, she had some curly fries and a lemonade
Her mom was there to pick her up
She kissed me and said hit me later on

Got back to the house, I ran and grabbed the phone
Called her house her dad picked up screaming leave my daughter alone
If you ever call here again, you'll have some problems on your hand
Heard the dial tone, and from that night we never spoke again
Think I cried a couple nights, I really hoped that we would reconnect
A week later I star 67 her, line disconnected
Never expected for it to end up like this
The age of innocence so frivolous but something I miss

I don't know much about life, but I know I wanna do it with you
Let's put it all on the line, c'mon baby what do we gotta lose
Just you and me, no one can see, how this was meant to be
Let's take a chance, no song and dance, and make some memories

Fast forward a couple of years, no longer a young boy
I was walking on campus with long hair like a young Troy
Trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to be
Get rich or die trying, had it bumping on my CD player
Headed out for lunch, but ended up at the beach
Skipping class and chasing some ass
I left a note for my teacher I told her I wasn't feeling too good
I'm sorry that I missed
Laid a towel on the sand, and took a sip of an MD 20 20
There was plenty of ladies catching my eye
Especially the one in the blue bikini, she lookin fly
Walked by me I pretended like she wasn't even there
She was posted up by herself just a couple of chairs away
Hair was wavy, and it dropped down an inch or two below her waist
Hadn't gotten a look at her face
Till she turned, and I felt a burn up in my chest
It was an angel I had once seen but could never forget

I don't know much about life, but I know I wanna do it with you
Let's put it all on the line, c'mon baby what do we gotta lose
Just you and me, no one can see, how this was meant to be
Let's take a chance, no song and dance, and make some memories

Could it be I can't believe it I mean, is it really her?
My palms were sweating and not from the sun, vision started to blur
Had to blink a couple times even had to take off my shades
Was it the girl that I last saw leaving Hot Wheels in the 7th grade
Trade it all by Fabolous was playing through her speaker
If she knew I woulda traded it all to have her and keep her
Sunk deeper in the sand as I began to contemplate
But before I could even think she started walking my way
Sorry don't mean to interrupt and I usually don't do this
But you look very familiar, were you ever one of my students?
I said I don't believe so but you did teach me some things
About an adolescent love you had my heart on a string
She seemed confused but I could tell that something had struck a nerve
That's when I called her by a name that she probably hadn't heard
In about a decade, her jaw dropped and let out a scream
Wrapped her arms around me tightly and said I can't believe this

I don't know much about life, but I know I wanna do it with you
Let's put it all on the line, c'mon baby what do we gotta lose
Just you and me, no one can see, how this was meant to be
Let's take a chance, no song and dance, and make some memories

We spent the rest of day reminiscing about our lives
She'd been a student teacher at the university for like 5 semesters
She enjoyed lectures about the earth
And her cousin that I met had recently given birth to a baby girl
And that's the same thing I would call her
She got a scholarship to Harvard didn't have to pay a dollar
She felt that her purpose was to inspire the youth
I told her I felt the same but I did it inside a booth
Started writing poetry as soon as you disappeared
I called you on that fateful night
Not thinking I'd never hear from you again
So the pen became more than a friend
A certain love affair that not many people can comprehend
She said I know I'm sorry, my pops he was kinda crazy
You know we moved around a lot cause he was in the Navy
A couple days after that night we had to go to Japan
I thought I'd be back in week or so but that's when the plans changed

I don't know much about life, but I know I wanna do it with you
Let's put it all on the line, c'mon baby what do we gotta lose
Just you and me, no one can see, how this was meant to be
Let's take a chance, no song and dance, and make some memories

A week turned into 2, and that's when 3 turned into 4 years later
I was still out in Tokyo on the shores of the Pacific
But don't think I didn't miss you at all
Many nights I cried myself to sleep

Wishing that I could call and just hear your voice
The time we had was special indeed
We were young but those moments are unforgettable to me
I just don't understand why you wouldn't pick up the phone
Had your number in my journal and I left it at home
Don't give me stupid excuses
I'm not I swear it's the truth
I know you knew it by heart
I didn't why would I lie to you
Don't wanna fight
Me neither but what the fuck
What you expect me to believe
I expect you not to be stuck in the past
We had a thing, but we were so immature
I wish it could have been different
I wish you weren't so insecure
I was sure that one day I would see you again
Now I don't know if I even wanna be friends

I don't know much about life, but I know I wanna do it with you
Let's put it all on the line, c'mon baby what do we gotta lose
Just you and me, no one can see, how this was meant to be
Let's take a chance, no song and dance, and make some memories

Maybe I overreacted, sorry I just had to let it out
She said don't even sweat it, I get it
If I could change a couple things I'd take it back in a second
But don't use my youthful decisions as a weapon against me
I went through enough pain as it is but I'm no longer that kid
I know you won't forget but try to forgive
She always had a way with words, that's one thing I admired
Which makes sense cause she's one that inspired me
To go ahead and tell a story of the first woman I loved
Who flew away like a dove and came back like she was sent from above
But in the end that was the last time we spoke
She disappeared back to my thoughts, just as soon I woke up
I laid in my bed for a couple minutes, still in a daze
You know those dreams that seem real
Make you feel a certain type of way
That's when the girl that stayed at my place last night
Turned over and said
