Childhood Dreams

Do you remember
A long time ago
When we were still friends?
I remember
Learning to tie a bow
That would cause all things to mend.
I remember
When our laughter
Would scare all that mattered
Away.
Well, we’re all grown up now
But still need to know how---
How to learn
How to cry
How to laugh
How to sigh our cares away…
But they still stay.
How to scream
How to blow away the things
That cause such pain,
But they won’t go away.
And time…
Time won’t let you stop…
Let you stop to think…
Stop to think that maybe there were mistakes.
Yet time will help you grow…
Grow into something more…
More than you could have ever even dreamed.
Dream, dream of all the ways
The ways that childhood used to sway,
Sway in a time much to long ago.
Long ago we cried,
When we couldn’t stay
Kids and not’ve learned to lie
And we would have never thought to die.
Die, our memories.
Die our silly dreams.
Dreams that used to care…
Dreams we used… To dare…
