Little eyelids flutter by Dreaming of the butterfly Made new friends They'll be 'till the end Making circles Singing songs Hop and jump Run and talk That's so close to life Yet so far Like dawn from the dark
Then came a time when We made cards for all Yet hogged all the chocolates From the shipping mall Learning to use computers And build castles on beaches.
Then jokes got darker And life more serious
The Boys became crushes The princesses blushed Secrets were hidden Pinky promises became fake
Life was now seen from near Our hearts decided who was real Had to make projects Give presentations Pens Pencils Glitter All over the tables Tenth of classes passed by And our heads were all held high...
The Brain had to choose From the diverging roads But the heart was the same missing the simple Expectations went up Marks went down Some swam across Some drowned
Still here we are Side by side But soon comes the end And we have to let go Eyes go numb Lips are sealed So much to say So much to hear.
