Memories

Remember back when
you were five years old
So adorable, precious
and clueless to the world

Now you're a teenage girl
that's never belonged
Wishing for that precious
little love song
jealous of those
oblivious to the world
remembering back when
you were a little girl

Can you recall
being seven years old
every person you ever met
became an instant friend

Now you're lucky
to have one that's true
with all the drama
it's a fucking zoo
seems like everyone's judging you
wanting nothing to do with you

And you reminisce
about being fourteen
truly discovering
who your true friends should be
inseparable you were
like being joined at the hip

But you can't recollect
the last time you've seen them
an IM is sent once a week
you wonder when
your friendships became so weak

Realizing how easy life changes
you seal up your memories
lock it up real right
and throw away the key
to wait for that day
you don't stop to look for that same memory
