You'd Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
We were two young kids
When we first met
I saw you across the playground
Kicking the ball as the sun sets
And then I saw myself laughing at you
For a little while
When my friend nudged me on the shoulder and said,
“Did you see the way he smiles
Which lights up his eyes”
Just like whom I’d wanna be with all my life
Then I grabbed the courage to go up and ask him
Do you know how every decision we ever made had led to us now
And he responded with,
“I can’t imagine how”
And unlike a hymn
I stood still
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
We grew closer day by day
Then one day
Just like the sand everything was swept away
But I still remember the songs we both wrote
But I still remember how we swore
That we would never grow apart
Now, it hurts like hell to grow older with a broken heart
And I still remember how you held my little finger
And vowed to me
That even if the world left
You’d stay with me
You’d stay with me
Can we go through all of it again?
Can we go as if nothing was strained?
Will you still collect my tears as if they’re rain
Then put them in little jars and label them as pain
Would you still drown in my thoughts with me
And just let things be
And then go over all our other memories
Just like you saved me
And then
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me
You’d Stay With Me

This piece contains me and my friend whom I lost contact with due to some unforeseeable factor, although I have no idea where he is, I recently saw him through a mutual virtual and it was a lot to take in. To see somebody you'd grown up with for such a long time and then lose contact was still tolerable to me. But seeing him again and seeing that he might have forgotten me or the fear in me that he had moved on so away with his life and it stings a little, well a LOT to be honest. But I hope the best for him and nothing else. So, I'd like everyone going through the same to know, that as an experienced individual, you can pull away from your friends but never break apart. The process of growing apart has a beginning but never an end.
