"Do you remember when we were little kids?
Laughing as our hair flew in the wind?
Playing all day long, talking through the night.
Those were the times when everything was right.

Do you remember the very first day of school?
You were the one friend that help me make it through.
That tough first year, you were there to ease my fears,
& you've always been there for me through all these years.
Do you remember when I first told you that you were my very best friend?
We promised that we would be there for each other until the very end.
People always used to say that they never saw us apart.
Do you know that you hold a very special place in my heart?

Do you remember when our bond began to break?
Fights began frequent and our hearts start to ache?
Suddenly our friendship came to an abrupt end,
when we realized it was that something we couldn't mend.

Remember when we decided to go our separate ways?
To be on our own and make friends that couldn't last.
Did the loss of our friendship ever made you cry?
Feel empty or sad or have you even wondered why?

We've grown older and we realize that things often change.
They don't need to end, but they can never stay the same.
Still, in the back of my mind this question won't end.
"Do you still remember .. the times when we were best friends?"

For a baby, she doesn't know that a curtain is called a "curtain", that a room is called a "room", she knows nothing about what is around us, but why is it that we no longer pay attention to these things when we grow up? No longer appreciating the simple old things in life?

I remember a six-year-old girl whose laughter always came easy. I remember but wonder, was it ever really that way? Innocence, not knowing anything in the world? The feeling that everything can begin anew, that all the unpleasant events of the past can be erased. But, would it ever be the same again? Sometimes I ask myself, why do we ever have to grow up .. ?
