I remember the day I first found out; and to this day, I hope I'm living in a nightmare
I'm still wishin' if I walk into a classroom and stare a desk, then I'll see you sittin' right there
Came up to the school just to get my cap and gown, but the flyer on the counter turn my smile to a frown

I'm hopin' its a typo, I was askin' all around and when I finally got my answer, it brought me down to the ground
And at that moment, my mind began racin' and re-tracin', the many things that I would say
To you and your sister when I stood outside the classroom, turned my head and saw y'all walkin' down the hallway

But then I graduated, and it almost brought a tear cuz I ain't even know you for a whole school year
And when I came back to the school, the first thing I hear is "Did you know Delaya Jenkins?", and I just started to fear
The sentence they would utter when I gave him my response; I wanted to plead with God to give you another chance

But I just found myself, sittin' in the car hatin' that I would be out of town and miss your celebration
I miss seein' you in the library, laughin', but even to this day, I still don't know how it happened
I can't escape the feeling, no matter how I try; Even though you just got there, goodbye...
