Chapter 1 - Things I Think About

~The Things I Think About~



The words that seem to disappear

And all the changes we start to fear

The sayings that shape and mold our lives

With the things that take us by surprise

These are the things I think about, when no one is around

And I let my mind fall in, and slowly begin to drown

Graffiti on old brick walls

Doodles in the bathroom stalls

Pointless stores in shopping malls

The feelings that make us burn

Sometimes our lessons are never learned

But it's more fun that way

So everything's new each day

These are the things I think about; when I know what I'm doing is wrong

Maybe I've been doing these things on purpose all along

When we are only a few years old

We believe each story we were told

How it would get so cold

We all just froze

And we all thought, might as well strike a pose

So we had to wait till spring to find out what we was done

If I had the chance, I'd do it again, just to have fun

These are the things I think about, when my mind can't process a thought

So each time I do something wrong, I pray I don't get caught

Like wasting my money on those useless things I bought

With tricky movements in hand games

When we would make some sort of claim

Always let someone else take the blame

How stupid we where, to think things would stay the same

So I guess all our time was spent

We weren't dumb, because we didn't know what those words meant

We knew what would happen, so we didn't ask

We just obliged to each and every task

So it was the same thing day after day

We didn't know what they meant, so we didn't say

We weren't stupid, things get taken away

These are the things I think about, when things get to loud

As I try to find my way out of some faceless crowd

In that stupid race we should have won

But I'm still proud of all the things we've done

Like the time we laughed, and ran right out the door

Or the time you cried, and threw your crayons across the floor

But each time, we just came back for more

I really didn't mind

We were each one of a kind

And we had some sort of unbreakable bind

But it broke, and so here I am

Writing this thing as fast as I can

Maybe we gave up to easily; maybe we didn't try at all

So maybe some day I'll give you a call

And wait, until you pick up the phone

In hopes that the tear we made can be sewn

It seems like your just fine

But I still wonder from time to time

I'm happy that you are happy, I really am

But it was just that unexpected wham

So now were not friends

I guess that's the end

Something's are meant to be

So maybe we'll be friends again, you and me

I guess we'll have to wait and see

These are the thing I think about, when I can't think at all

We've come this far, you and I

I don't think we really even said goodbye

Why should we have, we see each other everyday

And I just can't get out the words I want to say

But maybe things should stay this way

You're happy, and so am I

But all we said couldn't have been a lie

So with an empty space

I find my place

I hope that you do too

These are the things I think about, each time I think of you

Just to fill you in, this was about me and my best friend, and one day she just wasn't anymore. We didn't have a fight, nothing went wrong, and we just drifted apart. I see her everyday, but we just glance at each other, before we walk off. It really sucks, and I want us to be friends again. And who knows, maybe someday we will.
