As I walk through the halls,
My eyes start to tear.
This school year is so different
Without my lion here.

People and places
Remind me of you.
The way we bonded;
Our love was true.

I walk past your old locker
Where we shared our first kiss.
Where we held one another,
Making memories I’d later miss.

Now you’re gone.
Graduated. Goodbye.
And I’m here to roam the halls
Without you by my side.

But I have to keep going
Back to the place that brings tears.
I’m counting the days and months
Until I’m with my lion for my remaining years.
