Young children, scraped knees on the church playground
You about 4, me 5
Little girls without cares or thoughts of the world

Now 21, and 22
But you'll always be 21, no matter how old I get
I miss you and the laughs we shared, over who even knows what

The inside jokes, and favorite bands
The celebrity crushes and the tears shed
Dear Carrie, oh how I miss you
My best friend whom I will forever hold dear to my heart

The cracking of my heart that day
The cries, almost a silent scream into my pillow as to make others not hear me
I didn't know what else to do
