"time after time" by cyndi lauper. one of my first "girlfriends" (her name was rhonda) when i was in junior high said this was our song... i don't like the song but i really, really, really liked her. it was one of those times when you really liked someone and by some miracle of fate she likes you too. it was strange though... we only saw each other at school and talked on the phone. i never got to kiss her and that always pissed me off.
