Chicken Soup For The Soul- Redone

Do You Remember When?

Do you remember back when we were little kids

Laughing as our hair flew wildly in the wind?

Playing all day long, talking through the night

Those were the times when everything was right.

*

Do you remember our very first day of school?

You were the one friend who helped me make it through.

That tough first year you were there to ease my fears

And you've always been there for me through all the years.

*

Do you remember I told you that you're my best friend?

We promised we'd be there for the other, until the very end?

People always used to say that they never saw us apart.

Do you know that you have a special place in my heart?

*

Do you remember when our bond began to break?

Fights become frequent and our hearts started to ache.

Suddenly our forever friendship came to an abrupt end

When we realized it was something we couldn't mend.

*

Remember when we decided to go our separate paths?

To be on our own and make friends who can't last?

Did the loss of our friendship ever make 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 cannot stay the same.

Still, in the back of my mind this question won't end...

Do you remember, or ever think about... When we were

Best friends?
