When it was Easy
A long time ago, when he was happy and she was the school's authority
everything he did, she would scold him for it, leaving him on the floor with some broken ribs
but then came the day when no one was around and she fell down
he saw it and walked over, helped her up to ask if she was alright
his hand touches her's, and she blushes then and there
and not long after, the two had many happy memories to share
skip a few years and now they're graduating high school
she's going to Harvard University, and he is heading towards military academy
he told her not to worry, there's nothing to fear because I'll be right here in your heart
then a war broke out, he was sent to the fight, but he mailed her every time
one day the mail stopped coming and she feared the worst
later that day a soldier came by and told her the news and she dropped to the floor in tears
5 years from then they found a man holding on to life and a pendant of the girl in his hands
the soldiers took him to his hometown where the girl was still alive
they called her in to check up on him
and surely she visited along with three kids and a tall business man
as soon as she stepped out the nurses rushed into his room
she knew what had happened, walked towards the door not turning back
that night she cried alone in the bathroom and she was temtped to take her own life
but that wasn't the answer, and ever since then she lived her life with a hole in her heart
many years from then, sitting in her front porch when her face had wrinkled, she fell down
surely enough he saw it helped her up and they both walked towards the sky.
