Footprint On My Heart
She left a footprint on my heart
Learned about love before we drifted apart
Some days I sit and think about her
You'd think by now she'd be a blur
Thankful for the lessons I learned
And all the memories forever burned
Pictures painted in my head
None of which I'll ever dread
The silly way she looked at me
Wanton behavior I could always see
I'm grateful for the time we shared
Knowing that each of us cared
Moving forward as we both grew
Not being in love is something we knew
Selflessly I walked away
So she could find the one who'd stay
Be in love and truly feel
More than what I could reveal
Those younger years my stepping stone
As I age how much I've grown
I wouldn't trade the hurt and pain
But I'd never do it over again
