Teddy Bears Are Not Alive

There were drawings on the sidewalk

From what was a beautiful day

squares and circles made of white chalk

The raindrops came, washed them all away

 

A picture in a dusty album

Just light reflected into my eyes

Yet somehow I'm amazed by the spectrum

The forms within which they hide

 

Do you remember when the world was young

Although you weren't really around

Do you remember when all we knew was love

And that reasoning seemed sound

 

A memory I can't touch

but it stays here just the same

A diamond lost in the rough

buried deep inside my thoughtless brain

 

Just a picture from a friend

Who probablly wouldn't even recall

But I kept it to the end

Thinking it might save me from this fall

 

Do you remember how our sentences intertwined

how you could always read my mind

Do you remember all the times we spent out in the sun

do you remember all of the love

 

Can you feel it in air

Can you taste it in my tears

Why am I still sitting here

 

If a picture's worth a thousand words

I'll write the longest melody

just to convey to you

How much you meant to me

 

Do you remember how the rain would fall?

How we'd run inside when our parents called

And one day you never came back

Im still waiting here

drawing memories

I'll be siting here

Like some infectious disease

 

Do you remember when they said it was done

do you still have the teddy bear I placed in your grasp

Do you remember when they said passed on

I imagined you reaching for one last gasp

Atleast I know you'll sleep well tonight
