Memories fading and breaking apart
I laughed at the time you dragged me reluctantly through the mall
When I woke you up to watch the golden dawn
And the time I embarrassed you catching leaves in the fall
We raced barefoot through the yard on warm summer days
Of studying listening to the radio and patter of rain
At the crammed bus rides, passing notes in the crowd
Always partners in dance, laughing at our stage make up before the show and buying pizza on the way home
Then you mentioned you were moving to a place you’ve always dreamt
Staring as you waved goodbye, closing the door as you walked away
Boxing up pictures spread out on the bed
I cried out in pain, the ache in my heart too deep
Remembering you said one day we would meet
