gone

Hey, where did you go?

Left me hanging in the sunset glow

No words, no goodbye, just a fading shadow

Guess that's how young love can blow

We said forever, like a simple song

Now it feels like I’ve been singing all along

High school corridors echo your name

But now you're just a whisper in the rain

Like a kite cut loose from its string

I'm drifting, lost in what you mean

Did I miss a sign, or was it never real?

Caught in a storm I can't undo

You were the bloom in my spring, now just a memory

Fading like the ink on a summer breeze

No tears, no fights, just a quiet goodbye

Like the stars that fall from the night sky

Photographs fade like a sunset’s fire

Leaving behind the ashes of desire

The world was bright, but you slipped away

Left me in the shadows of yesterday

Like a kite cut loose from its string

I'm drifting, lost in what you mean

Did I miss a sign, or was it never real?

Caught in a storm I can't undo

You were the bloom in my spring, now just a memory

Fading like the ink on a summer breeze

No tears, no fights, just a quiet goodbye

Like the stars that fall from the night sky

Maybe someday I’ll understand

Why the gentle slip turned into sand

But till then I’ll hold the pieces tight

Guess some loves just fade out of sight

So here’s to us, the kids who believed

In forever, now just a memory

You’re gone like the wind, and I’m still here

Waiting for a new dawn, year after year
