Looking at the Frozen Hourglass of My Past

Help me escape.
Help me run.
Guide me now,
To when life was fun.

Back before school,
Back when we were young.
When life made sense.
Where our friendship was strong.

Before the choices were hard,
And I wasn't the answer.
Before we grew up,
And are now stuck together.

I see you everyday,
Yet there is never anything to say.
Tell me you miss me,
I'll tell you the same.

Look me in the eyes,
When you walk by.
Our smiles will melt the lies.
That we never met.

You act as if you never knew,
Never wanted to be,
Never will be again,
My very best friend...

Hidden under your mask,
I'll alway know,
You as the little boy,
That came through my window.

We shared laughs.
We shared tears.
We shared friends.
We resorted to our worst fears.

Now as you pass by,
We hide behind pride.
I still look back,
Our past is there,
Our future for you to decide.
