Echoes of Youth

Young hearts racing, under moonlit skies

Memories flicker, I close my eyes

A love so pure, now just a faded trace

Walking this road, missing your face

It started shy, in the hallways we’d meet

Heartbeat's pounding, so simple, so sweet

Notes in my locker, words that would flow

Dreaming of days, I’d never outgrow

But life has its plans, sometimes too cruel

Lost in the storm, feeling like a fool

Years drift by, but the pain remains

Haunted by a love, that felt so main

Have you ever been in love in high school?

Lost in the feeling, so raw and true

Time moves on, but the heart still remembers

Hidden tears, and long lingers

Laughed with my friends, shared hopes and dreams

Young love’s glow, bursting at the seams

He was my world, my secret song

Thought we'd be forever, but I was wrong

Then came the day, shadows took us away

Changed everything, colors turned gray

Almost twenty years, and I wonder still

How life's been for him, does he feel the thrill?

Have you ever been in love in high school?

Lost in the feeling, so raw and true

Time moves on, but the heart still remembers

Hidden tears, and long lingers

Memories flicker like a fading light

Wishing I could turn back night to night

Maybe someday, somewhere, somehow

He'll remember, and I’ll wonder how

Love in high school, a fleeting spark

Left a mark deep in my heart

Though time has passed, I still believe

In love’s true echo, I still grieve
