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
