I remember

I remember,

When she used to listen
And he used to care.
While they all gave advice
And we would thought it would never end.

I remember,

That day I cleaned the car
You and I were just two kids.
But they were not,
And they didn't know.

I remember,

How it felt when nobody cared
That nobody wanted me, you, they, us, we... around.
When we played hard,
But we were beat harder.

I remember,

The burning sun on my back
Darkness raising my freckles.
God almighty in the sky and the earth,
But not in my soul.

I remember,

When rejection was no longer something that hurt
Just something to be expected.
That they didn't want a boyfriend,
They just didn't want you.

I remember,

When friends were forever
And a promise was worth your soul.
Before jocks were jocks,
And sluts were everywhere.

...I remember...
Do you?
