Reminiscing

Sitting on my rooftop so old and gray
I think back on all the years
To all the tricks we played
To how we snuck out on weekends
Scaling this roof like it was nothing
You were my best friend
My partner in crime
And best of all you were mine
You grew up down the street from me
Just two houses away
Even though we had boyfriends and girlfriends
I somehow always knew
That someday we'd be together
And pledge love forever
I told you all my secrets
Like everyone we'd fight
But never about those stupid things
Only what was right
We finally said, "I Do," one day
You gave me three of everything imaginable under the sun
I could never imagine three more beautiful daughters
Or more handsome sons
I curse the cancer that took your life
My tears have dried, All I can do is sigh
My thought is broken by a sudden calling
I slowly get up and take one last look around
Before going inside and waiting to be found
Now no one but you and I
Know of our secret place
I like it that way for I know
If I ever need you it's where you'll be found
Out there on my rooftop old and gray
