You're somewhere else
While I am here...

He's sitting at the front
I sit behind him...

Your eyes were bright
My worlds only light...

Everyone misses first grade
when everything was simple...

(This ones for you Mandy)
we thought we would...

A sigh from him
then one from her...

"How are you," mom inquires
over the phone, after supper...

You let me down
Kicked me in the dirt...

Early for tech
Wanting so much more...

Heart thudding
Feet pounding...

Separation damages the heart
Creating rips and tears...

Singing reaches my ears
From the strumming of a guitar...
