When We Were Friends

and you run up

and I tell you to beware the feet

‘cause if you don’t

I’m one black eye away from suspension

but its fifth grade

and soon enough you won’t be my friend

so I’m going to jump and fly

I’m going to be touching the sky before I fall

the second that I hit the ground

I know it will be over

so just let me have the moment

to feel whats its like to fly

cause soon it will be gone

and my happiness too

so let me have my moment

to know you are waiting on my boots to hit the ground

to touch the sky.

to jump off

in a moment of vulnerability

and I am waiting on the landing

to rush up to fast.

you are coming to join me

or perhaps I am falling to reach you

I don’t know which

but I do know that

when it happens

You’ll be waiting,

On my boots to touch the ground

and

I’ll be waiting on you

to realize

that I have touched the sky

and I saw heaven

when we were friends
