MY HEART

WRITTEN BY MARION SHEPHERD

JULY 3 2018

From the night that we found ourselves outside of the church playing tag and just having fun.

There was something very special about you that found it’s way into my heart, and I felt that you were the girl for me Oh yes you were the one.

I remember wishing that everyone would go back inside and start church all over again.

Because I had so much fun spending time with you and I really didn’t want our time to end.

I remember riding home I couldn’t stop thing about you and my mind began to race, And everytime I thought about you A huge smile would come across my face.

I couldn’t explain what I was feeling inside so I kept looking out the window at the night sky above.

My family and friends could see the smile on my face and said oh look y’all Marion is in love.

We were still so young and I didn’t want it to show so I tried to keep my feelings for you bottled up inside.

I remembered those times when I wouldn’t see you at church and in my heart I would wonder why?

I would always track your mother down and tell her to let you know that I asked about you. She would smile at me and say ok I’ll tell her before she would tell me goodbye.

I would leave feeling really good inside and lord knows that this is true.

Because even though I didn’t get to see you. I knew that she was going to tell tou that I really cared about you.

Sadly time had passed and things wasn’t the same but I was still hoping to win your hand. But my heart was crushed when soon I discovered that your heart belonged to another man.

It’s been so many years since we’ve grown up and had gone our seprate ways.

Oh how I’ve wished for many years that I could turn back the hands of time and have a do over for those days.

Yet even now that you and I are still living so far apart.

I have never
