Back in the day
You owned my thoughts
My attention more on you
Much less my schoolwork got
Even though
It was many years ago
Still, you rule my heart
Still, for you it glows
In my mind
It makes perfect sense
But most can’t understand it
Can’t ascend that fence
That I could pass on other loves
Why would I live that way?
To go through life alone
“So sad”, they would say
But they don’t know you
The same as I
They didn’t fall in love
With your smile and eyes
They didn’t know
The Sharon that I knew
The sound of your voice
All the memories too
You went away a long time ago
And still, you’re with me today
Making me smile like this
Every night and day
That’s the impact
You had on me
The reason for my smile
Still today you’ll see
