22yo
You played "Sweet Home Alabama"
On your porch that summer day
I sat quietly and listened
As the porch swing kept its sway
The notes drifted into nowhere
And your heart began to sing
I could have stayed forever
Through the winter, fall and spring
Through the seasons, they kept changing
As the thoughts inside our heads
Our dreams began to differ
As we slept sound in our beds
Our hearts they tore to pieces
And our paths began to wind
Not towards, but from each other
So we'd leave our world behind
The wounds were deep and scarring
And I feel them to this day
I just wish I could have known
Just why it had to be this way
I felt, anger, shock and sadness
And my dreams began to fade
I thought time and time again
About mistakes that I had made
As the clock continued ticking
And the pain began to heal
It was clear to me exactly
How I'm now supposed to feel
Though our future isn't close
To what I thought it would always be
I still had all that time with you
That meant so much to me
I hear "Sweet Home Alabama"
On the radio and smile
My heart carries you forever
Through the hardships and the miles
Vivid memories of our childhood
I would never wish away
No matter how far life will take us
In my heart you'll always stay
I hope one day you read this and finally understand. I wish you all the best but I am finally letting you go. My deepest wishes that all of your dreams come true. I wish you all of the happiness and love in the world.
Goodbye, my friend,
Shaina
