Memories

I will always remember you, my sister, my friend...

Memories

That's all I have of you

All I'll ever have now

Memories

I'll never forget what we had

I just wish you could remember too

That time, those times

we spent as kids

Climbing trees

Playing in the rain

All the fun we had

Everything we did

Was a beautiful game

I was free with you

I could be as I am

We could do anything

Go anywhere

Scream and shout

As clouds gathered

Above our heads

In the classrooms

Messing around

Disrupting class

I remember

laughing so hard

that our sides split

I remember

Those sleepless nights

Talking for hours

Crashing early morning

Sharing stories and secrets

Telling fears and sorrows

Reminiscing in memories

Leaning on bark

On a hot summer's day

I remember

The life we lived

Free and happy

Careless children

The longest friend

I ever had

And I loved you

We would sit forever

Watching clouds take shape

Feeling the wind blow

At the park, on the swings

Racing through the grass

Monsters and water bottles

Sugar and happiness

I loved when we were hyper

Bouncing all around

And I remember all those moments

When we just sat

Silent, watching

The world shift around us

But we had our own world

In our dreams

We would fight

A thousand armies

And pick a hundred roses

Roll down the biggest mountain

And fly across the open sky

We'd search out castles

And when we tired

We would wake up

And run around in real life

Goofy little fools

When we would travel

By moonlight

Through the desert

Paths worn through

Far into the darkness

Just to see what we'd find

And we sang

We played music

For hours at a time

Singing and dancing

Until someone got tired

And we would sleep

until the sun woke us up

I remember 

The dark nights

Hiding from the spooks

From the ghosts 

And the psychics

Our group

Finding out new things

And I can recall

When we fell down

And we had to pull ourselves up

Then we laughed it off

Everything was grand

Everything was love and friendship

Hanging out every day

Just to get away from it all

And we would explore

Down to the Tree

And we would run away

Kids buried under boards

Burned dead

But we just ran

And found somewhere better

A different place to laugh

Somewhere we never had to run from

And we had fun

We'll always have fun

In our memories

And I remember

Smiling

Crying

Laughing

Singing

Will you remember too?
