Fading

These pictures of us
seem so far away,
like stories of someone
else's yesterday.
We sit on robot animals
grinning like mad.
I love these reminders of
the fun we had.
But I grow wistfull because
these times are disappearing
Cuz we're getting older
and it's really what I'm fearing
I barely see you and
and we grow apart
and it's ripping and knifing
away at my heart
Because at a time
we were so close
And could speak to
eachother more than most
And I love you but
its so strange
the way we're growing
and I see change
It is weird, you have to admit.
It's not fair and I loathe it.
I want to go back to being
a little kid you teased
and we'd fight and make up
and both be pleased
And we colored Easter eggs
and opened Christmas gifts
But we grow up and that
all just shifts
And now you're 21 and
old enough to drink
and I just hope you
stay smart and think
Because I've lost a lot
and couldn't lose you too
Because the coolest person
I know would be you.
I love you forever and
I'll always be there♥
