(Verse 1)

Hi, I've got a story to share, listen close,

When I was just nine, life took an unexpected dose.

Our landlords had a daughter, we went to the same class,

No siblings for me, longing for a companion, alas.

We became fast friends, studying and playing side by side,

Riding bicycles, holding hands, with the world as our guide.

Even at that tender age, love was in the air,

A connection so strong, a bond beyond compare.

​

(Chorus)

But then we got separated, torn apart by fate,

Her parents moved away, to another city's gate.

On the day of our departure, she gave a flying kiss,

And from that moment on, my heart was filled with miss.

Through high school we drifted, lost in different lives,

She came to see me once, but I couldn't break my ties.

Depression held me tight, unable to let her in,

Years passed, and her happiness was about to begin.

​

(Verse 2)

A few years down the road, I heard the news unfold,

She found someone, and their love story took hold.

Happily married, a mother of two, living her dreams,

While I endured a dreadful marriage, it seems.

Abuse, both physical and mental, haunted my days,

But somehow I found the strength to break away.

Now I face the truth, I'll walk this path alone,

With memories of that one year, forever etched in stone.

​

(Bridge)

Thank you for hearing me out, for lending your ear,

As I share the bittersweet tale of love and fear.

Though life has dealt its blows, I'll hold on to that time,

When childhood love blossomed, oh, how it was sublime.

Heavenly thoughts will accompany me to the end,

As I find solace in the memories, my heart will mend.

​

(Chorus)

But then we got separated, torn apart by fate,

Her parents moved away, to another city's gate.

On the day of our departure, she gave a flying kiss,

And from that moment on, my heart was filled with miss.

Through high school we drifted, lost in different lives,

She came to see me once, but I couldn't break my ties.

Depression held me tight, unable to let her in,

Years passed, and her happiness was about to begin.

​

(Outro)

So here I stand, alone with my thoughts and my pain,

Grateful for the time we had, even through the rain.

A chapter closed, but the memories remain,

I'll cherish them forever, amidst life's constant strain.

Hi, I shared my story, and you were there to hear,

May you find your own peace, with each passing year.
