Yorkwest_Media_-_(Echoes of Popondeta)

Whispers in the wind, where did you go?

Echoes of your laughter, now just a shadow.

Memories linger sweet, but the pain is real,

In the silence of the night, can’t help but feel.

You were the sun in Poponderta’s skies,

Beauty so bright, caught me by surprise.

But time had its way, I drifted away,

Now I’m lost in the echoes where we used to play.

Called your number, heart racing loud,

Remember the promises made in the crowd.

But just a cold silence on the other side,

The distance grew heavy, like a rising tide.

Oh, Poponderta, where did we stray?

When I turned my back, love faded away.

Thought we were forever, but forever was a lie,

Now I’m here, broken-hearted, wondering why.

Came back to find you, my heart in my hands,

Hoping you’d smile, made up plans on sands.

But you’ve got a new life, a new love in tow,

And I’m just the ghost of the boy you used to know.

Called your brother, guess you couldn't play fair,

In the back of my mind, I could feel your glare.

How did it end like this, in a moment so brief?

Was I just a paper heart, crumpled with grief?

Oh, Poponderta, where did we stray?

When I turned my back, love faded away.

Thought we were forever, but forever was a lie,

Now I’m here, broken-hearted, wondering why.

The waves crashed harder, the ocean we shared,

Now it pulls me under, lost in despair.

Each call ignored, every memory a chain,

You were my sunshine; now I’m soaked in the rain.

So here’s my goodbye, on this lonely shore,

To the girl from Poponderta, I won’t call anymore.

I’ll carry your memory, like a flickering flame,

But I’ll learn to love again, in this heart I reclaim.
