We were in the movie theatre
We had gone from leaning on each other
to sitting back in our seats

I was playing with my necklace.
You took my hand away from my necklace.

You held my hand.
You kissed my hand.

And your hand
remained intertwined
With mine

I don't know what's worse
The day you died
Or your funeral

I heard people talking
about you today
and my heart
bled a little

There's two hearts
On the floor.
One mine,
Both yours.

Friends are like Balloons
Once you let them go,
You can't get them back.

So I'm going to tie
You to my heart
So I never lose you.

I can't remember the point when adults started cursing around me without apologizing.
I can't remember when I was allowed to get my own food.
I can't remember when I stopped crawling into my parent's bed after having a bad night.
I can't remember when my mom stopped chopping my food up at dinner.
I can't remember when my mom stopped checking on me while I was in the bath.

I don't remember things changing,
I don't remember growing up.
