Remember when we were five?
our first kiss
God, we had no idea what we were doing then
it's kind of funny now

Remember when we were seven?
I had "cooties"
you never wanted to be around me
even though we were best friends

Remember when we were nine?
you had a huge crush on her
every guy did and who could blame them?
it's all they knew

Remember when we were eleven?
you held my hand
but it wasn't meant
I watched you kiss her
yet I never told anyone
I keep my head down now
I'd rather not be hurt like that again

Remember when you turned sixteen?
you had a girlfriend
you two were perfect, happy and smiling
but I guess you missed me
because you followed in my footsteps
and now you're dead
but Mom, I have one question
Do you remember what colour our eyes are?
