I knew a boy
He smiled and laughed
He always hung out with a little tomboy
They lived across the street
Together they would play
Until their Mothers called them in
A story with an ending not too sweet
They grew up
They became parallel
Long nights spent forever wondering
Where he had gone
Being just across the street
So close
But the walk was too long
The boy no longer thought about the nights spent
The days spent bouncing on the trampoline
And thinking they could fly
This boy no longer cared
He spent time with his new friends
He went to parties
And all the beautiful girls
The was still a tomboy
Still wore jeans instead of leggings
And it was all gone
Her joy
A sad girl she had grown to be
She wished for the days of flight
Not for her internal fight
While the. Boy had been away
Her father had as well
Left
Gone
Never coming back
She needed her old friend
Where was he
In her time of need
He was different now
A new kind of breed
And she’d pass him in the hallways
And he’d watch her walk home
These long nights and days
Spent being alone
To tell the truth
This isn’t the story of a girl and boy
It’s the story of me and you
