Seven years
my heart tears
my eyes break tears
my mind fears,
because I would not speak of my feelings

Six years ago
tight lips would not let go
my feet move so slow
words would not flow,
except for lies, because I feared humiliation

Five years a-past
love at-last
but had been surpassed,
by bundles of childish acts
felt heartbeats skipped

Four years from present
I resent,
lack of words and sense
words from I, "that's not what I meant!"
a sophomore who's a freshman

Three years vanish
my immatureness banish,
from all lavish
and I wish
that I had told her the truth

Year as a senior
my love is much more, for
her, but does not show no more,
than before
Graduation night was the last chance

Now far away
and the love feeling never swayed
she never quite knew, if my heart was in dismay

Not her fault, but mine
I committed a crime, convicted of lyin'
that time could not heal
not knowing how she feels
about me

'nother year has passed
I feel lonely alas,
wishin' that I would have been
aside as her king,
now I cry of tears
since my love disappeared.
