Emotions are a Funny, Complicated Thing.

nostalgic

Remember when we used to play in the woods

The southern humidity never bothered us

We were always a team

Setting traps and leaving clues

Never aware of the concept of growing up

Remember when we discovered

The art of emotions

You never told me in person

But I knew

And a small part of me wanted you to know too

We couldn't stop time to run its course

Remember when I moved states away

Our bond of friendship never took a break

I spent my summers calling you everyday

You told me how in love you were with some girl

On my way home you called me saying you feel alone

Soon enough it all stopped

Remember when we forgot each other existed

Only a once in a while question

The quick communication through our handheld devices

Making sure we were still there

I always asked about you first

I made sure you knew you aren't getting rid of me yet

It seemed like a joke

But I couldn't sleep that night

Remember when it all ended

Only faint memories when we were young

How the concept of boy and girl was never a problem

You haven't changed your number

But I changed mine twice

I always keep yours

No matter the distance

Or if you think it's a lost cause

I still believe you're my best friend

I'll never strip the title

Not when we grew up together

Not when you still know everything about me

Not when you're the only one I'd rather see after all this time

Remember when life didn't get in the way

When I could still be playing in those woods with you

When I didn't need to get used to new weather

When we were still a team

When growing up didn't matter

Like it does now
