High School Love

Where did you go, my high school love
We were always us, hand in hand
Talking about the future we planned
Then you gone, and I was alone


Your Daddy was a soldier, and duty called
A different camp, a different land
A world of hot sun and sand
And I waited, yes I waited, for a message


Why didn’t you write, couldn’t you have phoned
I was left alone with a frozen heart
My friends said she is gone, time to restart
But my high school love wouldn’t let me go


Now, years later, I am at peace with life
I found a path to walk that brought fame
But inside me, my heart still has an aim
To see its high school love again.
