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 belongedΒ Β
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
