How can it seem like just yesterday,
You and I were sitting in study hall,
As they joked about us being so perfect for each other?
I wonder,
How can I remember so vividly,
The look on your face,
And touch of your hand,
As I wept when we broke up?
I wonder,
How can I replay,
Those fights we had over your habits and mine,
And recall how we cared so much?
I wonder,
Why haven’t I forgotten,
Just how my heart felt,
When you told me, even in anger, “I care!”
And, “Because you’re one of my best friends?”
I wonder,
How could we have let that slip between our fingers,
And move on with our lives,
As if that special connection,
Was never even there?
I wonder,
If you miss my friendship,
Like I miss yours,
And if you need my friendship,
Like I need yours.
I wonder,
What if I let this slip away,
Can I go through my life without you there?
Can you go through yours without me?
I wonder,
If you remember,
Speaking my language,
And knowing just what I was thinking,
No matter how hard I tried to hide it.
I wonder,
If you care.
