Ode To My College Sweetheart

I was so young, with the world in front of me
So many memories cross my mind of you as I lie here and reflect about my past
I remember when I first laid eyes on you
There were so many choices to choose from
But I chose you
You stood there, innocently
With your large frame and open arms
I didn’t know what hold you had over me
For I always wanted to see you
As I worked in McCollum Hall, along Tennessee Street
I gazed out the window, staring in your direction
Wondering if you were thinking of me
It was a bittersweet love
You whispered sweet nothings …
as sweet as chocolate cookies and bitter truths as sour as your dough
You stayed by my side throughout my college years,
celebrating all of my highs and lows
I even remember when I took my parents to meet you
They weren’t as impressed as I was
For I had told them about you for years
They didn’t understand our love
Now years later, I still think of you
When I went looking for you, I heard that you are no longer there.
Schlotzsky’s how could you have closed!
You are just a memory
Ode to my college sweetheart
