I haven’t lived even half as long as adults have, but I do have plenty of memories in my backpack My favorite baseball cap, my sneakers with worn-out heels Deep in my pocket is my worn-down guitar pick There were some things sad enough to make tears come out, but you were always by my side I thought of the two of us as just friends the whole time I probably loved you without ever realizing it. We walked while we laughed, played, and got hurt I realized it as we took shortcuts and went in circles: that even if you can’t believe in everyone you can’t cast aside a heart you do believe in You made me stronger just being who you are Like a gentle wind blowing and swaying the grass you always walked with a smile Yes, the two who shared smiles and tears one after the other….. (I miss you) …..are now far apart…..” So the world was saved......
