Remember how
We would skip in the street
Remember now
I never kept up with your feet
And how hard I would try
To stay by your side
But you so easily flew
Far away from all you knew

I remember skipping
How peaceful it could be
I also remember the skipping
That occurred when it wasn't so happy
When the rough patch
Would scratch at the latch
Of what we kept buried
While we skipped and hurried

I know we skipped too fast
I know we skipped too fast
I know you just tried
To make it last
But I know we skipped too fast
Because I can hardly remember
What changed about us
When you changed your mind
Last September

And so I guess what eats me most
Is that you've become a ghost
And this goes to show
That you never did know
How much it would destroy me
To watch you skip away slowly
