do you remember when i was five and you were six?
when we played candy land and loved pick up sticks?
when we built countless sandcastles together?
and when we caught fireflies in the warm summer weather?
do you remember when i was seven and you were eight?
when i begged you to teach me how to roller skate?
when you fell asleep and i painted your nails?
and when we took walks on our secret trails?
do you remember when i was nine and you were ten?
when we played freeze tag again and again?
when we held hands and jupmed off the raft?
and when went tubing and fell and we laughed and laughed?
do you remember when i was eleven and you were twelve?
when you told me “you need to believe in yourself”?
when your dad took us rockcliming and I fell?
and when we walked down the beach looking for shells?
do you remember when i was thirteen and you were fourteen?
when you walked away in your old blue jeans
when something changed, something I can’t figure out
when i knew what we had was over, without a doubt
i know it’s been a while since we’ve been best friends,
and i understand that everything comes to an end
but i want to know, i need to know,
do you miss it too? or am I the only one?
