Verse 1
(Slow, gentle tempo, driven by acoustic guitar)
The old schoolyard, the stone bench is still here
But the one beside me has been gone for so long, dear
The green trees still cast shadows like the days of old
Only I stand silent now, my eyes wet and cold
Memories rush back, in the corner of a small desk
Those clumsy love notes, traded in the midday zest
An innocent first love, like a notebook yet unwritten
Thought it was forever, but it turned out to be a vision
Chorus
(Music swells, with added piano)
Oh, First Love! Why did you break without a single word?
Only leaving pain that cuts my heart like a sword
Our summer goodbye, wasn't about the distance we faced
But a promise broken, a future we couldn't taste
Where are you now? Do you miss those after-school walks?
Your hand let go, leaving behind a realm of thought and shocks
This young heart, now marked with a deep, aching scar
It's shattered now, this high school romance, like a fading star.
Verse 2
(Tempo returns to slow, with soft violin accompaniment)
These days without you, I gather the broken pieces
Trying to mend my heart, though I know the pain increases
The pure white uniform, now stained with the hue of longing
Every time I look, I see a deep void, where you belong
Friends ask about me, I only shake my head and sigh
I tell them "I'm okay," though inside I want to cry
The years rushed by, like a sudden rain shower unseen
Washing away everything, leaving only silent grief within
Bridge
(Key change, more powerful and emotional)
Was high school love truly too fragile to hold tight?
Only beautiful when hidden, before brought into the light
I was foolish to believe, in those dreamy, whispered vows
Realizing now, this whole affair was somehow flawed
The heartache isn't losing you, but the missed connection
Missing a future, missing a solemn, shared affection
But I will learn to accept and try to be stronger
To keep the memory, and walk this road a little longer.
Chorus
(Repeat, more intense and heartfelt)
Oh, First Love! Why did you break without a single word?
Only leaving pain that cuts my heart like a sword
Our summer goodbye, wasn't about the distance we faced
But a promise broken, a future we couldn't taste
Where are you now? Do you miss those after-school walks?
Your hand let go, leaving behind a realm of thought and shocks
This young heart, now marked with a deep, aching scar
It's shattered now, this high school romance, like a fading star.
Outro
(Tempo slows down, fading to piano and a whispered vocal)
Goodbye to you... my very first love.
Closing the chapter, of those pale green school years...
I will be fine... even though I still ache...
(Music fades out)
