I brush away your strand of hair
Hold on to you softly
I don't need to know anything
Unless it has to do with us
I just care about you
Only you
We're so close,it would hurt to break apart
Why can't we always be like this
No one to bother us
That is what I said to you
Last year
When we could be together
But this year
It is a throbbing pain in my heart
To know we will never be what could have been
I just gaze at your photograph
And my eyes go hazy
I feel distant
I remember something else...
You were at my house with me
We were having so much fun
We laughed and rolled like little kids
Why did it go undone?
I'm remembering the picture
We took when we visited that cliff
I asked if you could jump off with me
So we could stay forever kids
But no,we have changed
In ways we've never expected
Different interests,different times...
You quit chinese jumprope
That we played with our team
You played football on the blacktop
You didn't even think of me
As I sit here thinking
I remember when we camped
You were crying,I was sighing
On that dreaded hike to end our lives
When we could open up to each other
I remember swimming at the pool
At McKinley park
We swam for hours,got sunburns
It soon got dark
All I know is you were with me
And it was so much fun
But now
That time is done
Alas,the last day I ever saw you
The 6th grade dance
You were crying cause a boy blew you off
I wish I could have hurt him
He had no right to hurt this treasure
He did not know
How our strong friendship measured
I look at the mirror
To see who I've become
I'm never going to look the same
I should have run...
I stare at the picture
Of us together
And I feel small,wet crystals drop
From my cheeks
It's all a blur
But I'm still smiling
You know I still live in my fantasies
You will never know
How much you mean
To me
So I breathe
And feel the mirror break
Into small,sharp,hurtful pieces
