Mark

We met back in grammar school, catching my eye

Living right next door as the seasons went by

For two short years, you were steps from my door

And I carried a crush I could never ignore

I kept it a secret, I held it inside

Just a quiet young girl with her feelings to hide

Then life turned the page and we went our own ways

But I never forgot you from those early days

Mark, it took fifty years to find you again

One click on a screen, and you're more than a friend

The timing was perfect, we both were so free

And those beautiful brown eyes are looking at me

You make me so happy, you make me just smile

Content in a way I've not felt in a while

Half a century later, the feeling is true

It took fifty years, but I finally have you

You're honest and loving, you lift up my soul

Your passionate heart makes me feel so whole

We started to talk and the memories flew

I realized the spark was still burning for you

No longer a secret I have to pretend

I'm holding the hand of my childhood friend

You give me a comfort I can't quite explain

Like the sun coming out at the end of the rain

Mark, it took fifty years to find you again

One click on a screen, and you're more than a friend

The timing was perfect, we both were so free

And those beautiful brown eyes are looking at me

You make me so happy, you make me just smile

Content in a way I've not felt in a while

Half a century later, the feeling is true

It took fifty years, but I finally have you

Fifty long chapters of living our lives

We walked our own roads and we learned to survive

But destiny waited for us to be free

To bring the boy next door right back to me

Yeah, the feelings are still here, as strong as before

And I don't have to hide what I feel anymore

Mark, it took fifty years to find you again

One click on a screen, and you're more than a friend

The timing was perfect, we both were so free

And those beautiful brown eyes are looking at me

You make me so happy, you make me just smile

Content in a way I've not felt in a while

Half a century later, the feeling is true

It took fifty years, but I finally have you
