Just by hearing one song,
Suddenly it's May 31st 2017
I stand on stage in a dark theater
(Actually, I'm standing in front of the stage; up there, it's crowded with the entire senior band and choir,
So most of the junior choir is in front of the stage)
The band plays a beautiful song that I sing along to with both senior and junior choir
I'm singing out loudly with all my heart
"This is my home, oh Canada"
"This is my home..."
I'm loving the song and the people around me
And I'm still buzzing with excitement inside from the kiss just minutes earlier, one of the first times he kissed me
Being here, surrounded by loving friends (one more than a friend) and beautiful music,
Doing what I love to do,
I can hardly imagine being happier
That was one of the best days of my life
But suddenly it's gone
How did eleven months go by so quickly?
How did everything change so much?
I almost forgot how happy I used to be, how wonderful that day was, until I heard the song again
I want to turn back time
To May last year
And do it all again
But
The past is gone
I can't go back
I almost scream in pain, I want those days back
How does just a song bring so much nostalgia?
