An Old High School Memory

It's been so many years
Since I thought about our time
Laughing all day at school
Whispering on the phone all night
 
Waiting patiently to see you
Every car sounded like yours
Every time, I would run and take
A hopeful peek outside the door
 
And then at last it was you
I knew your smile from miles away
It was so easy to see it shine
When I saw it every day
 
Time went by, you had to go
But said I am coming back for you
Days, months, then years passed by
And not a single promise was true
 
One day just out of nowhere
A letter arrived in my box
Congratulating me on my achievement
And that I was always in your thoughts
 
Your words were full of memories
The first few broke my heart
And then it suddenly hit me
You are now only a scar
 
As I grew older the wound had healed
I long stopped dreaming of our forever
You now are just an old memory
Whose promise turned into never
