Do You Remember when?

Do you remember back when we were little kids
Lsughing 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 the 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 stay that they never saw us apart.
Do you know that you have that special place in my heart?

Do you remember when our bond began to break?
Fights became 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 on our seperate 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 ever 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?
