When I was four I had a best friend
Always smiling and laughing
Never a frown on my face
Running up and down the streets
Playing all the craziest games
With the most amazing personWhen I was five we met a boy
He was kind and funny
He never made fun of us
Occasionally fail to beat us up
But never hurt us that we'd run away in tears
He loved us like sisters
He was our new found brotherWhen I was six we got a visitor
A girl up the street
She came from a respectful family
Even though she wasn't the nicest
Although I'm probably bias
After all she was nice to the others
Just not meWhen I was seven we were living the best life with the worst news
Two knew while the other clueless
A promise was made
We would never leave eachother
Ever
We raced, played, sneaked into fields
Always smiling and never crying
But then the unthinkable happenedWhen I was eight we were left behind
No more smiling just tears among tears
Looking up above just to pray
Our best friend was gone
She was never coming backWhen I was eight...I was all alone for the first time
I seen her body laid out on the sofa
Lifeless
I ran and didn't return
I went to her funeral and didn't shed a tear
Not one
I watched her get lowered into the ground
Still no tears cameNow I'm older I don't ever stop thinking about you
I finally understand you're really not coming back
It will be many years before we see eachother again
You had your whole life ahead of you
Just to stole from underneath you
I'm so sorryNow I'm older I will never forget our memories
Never
No more smiling just crying
