But You Didn't...

    Remember the time you lent me
    your car and I dented the fender?
    I thought you'd kill me...
    But you didn't.
    Remember the time I spilled coke
    on your new rug?
    I thought you'd kill me...
    But you didn't.
    Remember the time I forgot to tell
    you the dance was formal and you
    came in jeans?
    I thought you'd hate me...
    But you didn't.
    Remember the countless times you'd
    try to be serious and I’d giggle?
    I thought you’d leave me...
    But you didn't.
    Remember all the times I'd flirt
    with other guys just to make you
    jealous - and you were?
    I thought you'd drop me...
    But you didn't.
    There were so many things
    you did to put up with me, to
    keep me happy, to love me. And
    there were so many things I
    wanted to say to you after you
    returned front Vietnam...
    But you didn't.
