Silent Years Between Us

From the little classroom days,

your name stayed with me Since we were children,

my heart chose quietly

Back in UKG I would wait just to see you smile Small

shoes on the school floor,

dreams running wild I carried that feeling through every passing year

Never had the courage,

just kept you near Then in class seven life pulled us far

away You looked like you had something your lips could not say

I was too young to read what was in your eyes So

we left in silence under ordinary skies

No phone, no message,

no road back to your door

Still every single day I loved you more

Years kept moving, but my heart stayed there

Holding a memory like a private prayer

I loved you then,

I love the truth of who I was A boy with your

name written deep because But you belong to someone in this life

today

So I let the dream and the pain fall away I loved

you long, even when you were not mine Now I keep the

lesson and leave the past behind

Ten years passed, I told myself I had to change Build a

future, write some code,

rearrange If I stayed lost,

I would drown in yesterday

So I moved my place but your memory stayed

I wondered should I send that small request online One touch of

hope after all this time Someday I finally said what I could

not hide You turned it down,

and the last door closed that night Now I understand this world

a little more Love can shape a heart without becoming yours I

thank the boy who carried you through the rain He made the

man who can stand through pain

I loved you then,

and I bless the road we knew But I do not need

forever from you

You were a chapter,

not the end of me Now I walk forward and I finally

breathe I keep my heart,

I keep my faith,

I move ahead Your memory stays soft,

but my life is mine instead

I can live alone,

and I can live in light

Goodbye to the boy,

hello to my own life
