As we walked together
Laughing while crying
Smiles with twisted glares
Stopping with no reason
Leaving them behind
Calling you
Clock running for hours
Voices running for days
We laughed and joked
Creating a world
For us to own
We ran around our little town
Climbing and running
Rolling and jumping
I always had the best times with you
A photo booth made from memories
Of us
One day you said you were leaving
On a plane and far away
So I made myself hold on
Until I couldn't anymore
I held your hand
To try to keep you with me
And you held back
On a late night
We circled around my trampoline
In matching rainbow Bucket Hats
We stayed up late
Til the sun rose
Creating little faces out of my cooking spoons and forks
As we finally fell asleep
There was only one thing I could think
What am I gonna do when you're gone
Leaving you
Was the hardest thing I've done
I didn't get to say goodbye
Not even once
I didn't get to hug you
Didn't feel your warm embrace
I just watched time fly
While you went away
I still hope you could've stayed
I watched you try to adjust to your new town
You didn't know anyone or how to get around
I watched you make a few new friends
But they pulled you down
As I tried to pull you up
I could see you were struggling
You told me so
But I kept you going
Because you're the greatest thing I've ever known
Soon you began to fit in
You made new friends
And you made a name for yourself
You sprouted like a flower
Ready to breathe
Living in the air
As you let go of me
I watched you as we fell apart
How you became a new person
While I stayed the same
I'm so proud you who you came to be
But sometimes I wish it was still just you and me
You've made more friends
Who are more like you
And I stay behind
But I'm happy
So fucking happy
That you were able to bring yourself up
Find things that made joy
In your precious heart
Maybe now I'm just a stranger
But I hope I cross your mind
Just once
And if it's not too much to ask
Even twice
I hope you remember our little world
Our little reality that only we owned
I hope you remember how I made you happy
How you were my number one
How even now you still are
I hope you remember our favorite playlist
I hope you remember our favorite place to play
I hope you remember our favorite joke to say
I hope you remember me
Like I remember you
I hope you remember us
Something I'll never forget
