I Remember When, Do You Remember?

You have a friend
Who comes over
Every now
And then

Every time
I hear
Y'all laugh
I remember.

I remember when
You were little
And barely able
To get around at all

I remember when
You started to walk
Stairs were
The coolest thing

I remember when
You first started
To learn colors
And how to spell

I remember when
You were a brat
And always
In charge

I remember when
You chose videogames
Over homework
And chores

I remember when
We had a celebration
For your brothers birthday
And you wanted a present too

I remember when
You told me
You "hated me."
And slammed the door

I remember when
You said the words
I love you and
I have a girlfriend

I remember when
Papa first died
And you were
A brave soldier

I remember all this
From your laughter
Amongst family
And friends

Do you remember when
We made
And had
All these memories?
