Mr. X, I Still Remember...

This song by Bloc Party reminds me of Mr. X or as my friend likes to call him 'Mr Missed Chance'. 
There was friendship. And there was love. There was fear. And confusion. Then he moved to a far, far away land and it feels like he took a piece of me with him...


I, I still remember
How you looked
That afternoon
There was only you

You said it was just like a full moon

Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers they almost touched
You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Now every park bench screams your name

I kept your tie
I'd have gone wherever you wanted
And on that teacher's training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work
So monochrome and so lukewarm
And I could feel our days where becoming night
I could feel your heart beating across the grass
We should have run, I would go with you anywhere
I should have kissed you by the water
I still remember...
