Remember the days when we were young?
When all seemed good in the world
Playing on the beach
Talking in the park
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember all the days we spent in school?
Falling asleep during lessons
Causing trouble
Making jokes
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember all those birthday parties?
Bowling, hide and seek, sleepovers
Running, teasing
Laughing, screaming with all our friends?
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember our classes?
You doing all the work
Me doing all the talking
Slacking off, procrastinating
Do you remember when we were young?

Remember our craziness?
Making up names
Trying to bribe people
Shoving each other in the halls
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember the lazy days?
Where we slept for half the day
Pulled a couch potato, and relaxed
Not worrying about the homework we had yet to do
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember the days in the library?
Running around, yelling
Doing homework, studying
Shoving books in each others’ faces
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember the favors?
Homework answers
Revenge plots
The constant borrowing
Remember the days when we were young?

Remember the freak outs?
In the library, during orchestra
Minutes before classes start
During lunch, on the phone
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember the crying?
For bad grades
During lunch
On the weekends
Do you remember when we were young?

Remember the days we spent just hanging out?
Never doing anything
Just talking, reading
Fighting over the computer
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember the things we used to do?
Grabbing pens and pencils from each other
Throwing out threats
Random conversations on nothing
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember how comfortable we were with each other?
Sitting in silence
Reading different books
Making time for each other
Do you remember the days when we were young?

Remember the shaking?
Remember the crying, the disappointment?
Remember the yelling?
Remember all the fun we had together?
Do you remember…

Do you remember the days when we were young?

I wrote this when I was 11, when I felt that my best friend and me were drifting apart. Unfortunately, we still are.
