High School Sweet Heart

High school sweet heart Oh my darling, I remember like it was yesterday, Our first year in high school, It was love at first sight, and that was so cool. We shared a desk together, Do you still remember my darling? I did not know the bible like you did But learning about it from you was a good deed. I remember you volunteering to read the bible for me, You opened Song of Songs and it read “Your lips cover me with kisses, Your love is better than wine” Even though you did not say the “L” word, I knew you were mine. I don’t know how, but you made my dark days bright You had a way of making everything seem alright. Though sometimes we used to fight, No one realised it, because they said our couple was tight. At that time we were not even a couple, But we used to do things in double. What I had you had to have, It was either double or nothing, And for us my love, we always had double of everything. Even though we dated at a late stage, We were still young in age, And there was nothing sweeter than our teenage love. Trouble came when we went to varsity, We forgot who we were, We got lost in the new lifestyle We got our freedom, misused it and lost each other. Two years later my love, you went to Zimbabwe, I thought I had lost you forever my love, But though we had long broke up, Though we were miles apart We would talk for a short while on the phone at night, After our small chat, i would sleep with a huge smile on my face Your name translates to “Hope” in English, I always had hope that someday I would have you again, I tried getting you back, but to no avail. It’s been five years now without you, yet still, My love for you never dies I have been in many relationships, but they were all lies. My one true love is my high school sweet heart, And that is how it will always be. My love, I have walked away from us, I am in other country now, Somehow I will always look back, I will always wonder what could have happened if we had tried again. Oh high school sweet heart, How do I get rid of this feeling in my heart? I miss you so bad high school sweet heart. Your lips did really cover me with kisses, And that is what I miss the most, But who knows, maybe I will find someone like you sweet heart.
