Within These Halls

Waking up before the sun's awake
Seeing the same face for four years
People fail to realize how time flies


Within these halls memories are made
Within these hall friendships are tested
Within these halls legacies are left behind


You're not the same person you were when you first stepped foot in these halls
You feel like you're here a lifetime
When in fact you're not


So many words still unsaid
You walk into the empty halls of what once was
What once was the ????? place freshman year
What once were the people you hung out with your junior year
What once were the songs you listened to senior year


These halls hold many stories
Now these halls hold your stories
The stories of break ups
The Stories of love
The stories of friends
The stories of teachers
The stories of yourself
The stories are endless


And yet many more are still to come
People call these halls a second home
Within these halls a lifetime is spent
Within these hall memories are forever stored
Only the halls knowing what memories you made
What secrets you kept
