If only I could go back,
To those precious moments, I miss.
Standing at the door, waiting for him with bliss.

If only I could go back,
To the stolen glances, I'd take
Watching him walk by, my heart raced.

If only I could go back,
To the meetings of eyes,
In his smile, I used to see enchanted lies.

If only I could go back,
To watch him pass by my class,
Only the memories, that would outlast.

If only I could go back,
To watch him laughing like before,
His joy contagious, my heart would be sore.

If only I could go back,
To the first day we met,
When my heart started to brim.

If only I could go back,
To the time we crossed our paths,
My heart beating fast.

If only I could go back,
To the time I felt the unspoken connection,
It was magic, a beautiful reflection.

If only I could go back,
Those memories I'd chase,
Reliving those moments, I'd embrace.

"Fill your days with joy and leave no room for regret. When you reflect on the past, may your memories be filled with happiness and laughter, lighting up your heart forever."

It really hurts, it feels like yesterday but it isn't. I can't even express it, never realised that time flies but now I can understand why people say it.
