A seemingly ancient photograph
Capturing a perfect moment in time
Eternalising our friendship
Sealing us in our prime

A photo taken in the spur of the moment
As an attempt to follow a new "selfie" trend
Within the seats of a worn down minivan
We all sat and laughed as friends

At the young ages of 11 and 12
Still quite young and naive
We drove around the endless fields
Laughing and singing as we were free

We called ourselves The Gang
Though we rarely did anything wrong
The six of us were so close back then
It was the only time I felt like I belonged  

Stopping the car behind the willow tree
With its branches drooping low
Rays of sunlight shining down
But at that time we didn't quite know

Let's take a picture

A black iPod touch
Was the thing to capture this moment
we all posed with the peace sign
In time we are forever frozen

This picture that at the moment meant nothing
It was all just meaningless fun
But now we see that during that time
It was the last day that we were together as one

Our lives have all gone different ways
In complete opposite directions
We haven't seen each other in years
We no longer hold that same connection

The photograph sits within my room
My most treasured possession I own
etched into the bottom of the frame
The words that we once promised

We'll meet again someday

This is honestly a picture taken so long ago that I can barely remember it,
2012 and having no clue how to take a selfie

Whats the point in giving my heart away
Whats the point of giving it to a boy who wont stay
A boy that is full of lies and deceit
A boy that somehow I found to be sweet

What is it about the dangerous and the bad
The hurt, the broken and all of the cheats
What is it about them that draws us in
What is it that causes our hearts to skip a beat

Though they lie, manipulate
We fall for their traps
Too perfectly set up
There are no gaps

Our hearts are drawn in
Its so perfect and right
Sweet whispers in the air
Cold kiss of the night

Within their dark and stormy eyes
We see our reflection
They hold the same hurt, Same pain
The desperate need for affection
Though these feeling are in vain

We can fix them, Help them
We can be the one who changes their ways
And there we are trapped
imprisoned within that deceitful gaze

Intoxicated by sugar coated words
convincing ourselves we want nothing more
That we are more then just any other girl
That we can feel their love deep within our core

It takes time and pain to realise the truth
The harsh, cruel reality that knocks on our door
Just a game to them, it was never anything more
To them we are no different to a common *****

Suffering in silence, crying a flood of tears
Then being filled with anger, the rage and the fears
Questioning ourself worth as we thought we knew better
But all of these feelings just seem to bring them pleasure

A never ending cycle of victims and pain
Hopefully karma catches up to them one day
As too many have fallen as they decided to play
To All have been enslaved within this Sadistic game

There is one boy
That I'll always admire
His wavy ash brown hair
Gentle, warm loving eyes
He's but a lost memory
A blast from the past
Still each time i see him
I just wished it had last
He doesn't stand out
Quiet and meek
He stands to the side
As he rarely speaks
Kind and pure
Its quite odd to see
But I still remember a time
he got hurt and bleed
He's in love with the colour green
Wearing it everywhere he goes
Its quite literally
On everything he owns
He's afraid of hurting others
Straight forward and honest
But no matter what happened
He always keeps his promise
Incredibly bad with words
He stumbles and falls
A strange personality
He's really is a little oddball
Tall and attractive
A fairly cute face
large toothy grin
His messy hair out of place
Though time has moved on
We forgot one another
same environment
yet so far from each other
When our paths cross ways
A cheerful smile floods his face
he rapidly waves at me
He has me in a daze
I send a bright smile
And a small little wave
No words spoken
As continue our day
A boy and a girl
Both childhood friends
But as time ticked by
that all seemed to end
Merely a small interaction
Though we are no longer the same
Allows my heart to feel satisfaction
Even when nothing else remains

He's that one boy.

He's that one boy I'll always remember
As he will always have that little place in my heart
Even if we have drifted apart
