The Drum Major and the Head Snare

It's been four years since I was officially introduced to you

Four years since the butterflies appeared

Four years since my seeking for your smile

Three years since all of that ended

Your hair is shorter

Your appearance shows off the years of wrestling you took up

You drive around town worrying about college apps while I do my homework at the sidewalk, waiting to be picked up

I know I'm no longer the pianist and you're no longer at the drumset

But I still feel warm when you share your section's humor

Especially since now you no longer stop me to speak with me

But even with all these changes, I won't lie

I still sometimes shiver when I see your gaze on me

Even though I know it's required of you to watch me
