chidiebere franklin - MY CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART

I just let her slip away my grip got so weak,
I think about her each hour each day each week

we grew up together ending so far apart,
as the distance grew further it broke my heart

Even if you were a million miles away,
the love that I feel grows each and every day

I wait by the phone hoping to hear you call,
a text an email no nothing at all

I hear from friends that you moved onto someone new,
but they'll never give as much love as I'd give to you

maybe one day my scars will heal with time,
but I will never forget my sweet valentine

for me I let my first love get away,
and my heart is now broken more than words could say

so never take for granted the first love of your life,
take her in open arms and make her your wife
