Four Stages

In the beginning, we were the best little buddies
We’d play together every day
If I got hurt, you’d kiss it and make it all better
Then, we started school

In elementary school, we were in the same class
We did our homework together before we ran off to play in the trees
If I got in trouble, you held my hand and made me feel okay
Then, we entered high school

In high school, we didn’t see each other much anymore
We didn’t sit together, we hung out with different crowds
We got older, and we drifted apart
Then graduation came, and we went our separate ways

Now we’re grown up, with our own homes, our own lives
And I wish I had someone
To kiss away my pain, or comfort me
I miss you, my old friend
