i walked down the street
a smooth summer breeze brushed my feet
i felt calmer now that time had gone by
since the fight we had, it makes me cry
to remember the good times we had

she watched a leaf turn colors
it was magnificent for sure
the stories that were uncovered
made no sense to her
the tree was vast and growing
through summer,spring, and fall

i looked in your eyes
at first glance i saw nothing
but then i looked deeper
and i saw an extraordinary thing
a lifetime's memories glinting in shadows

i thought my friends knew me
not just what the eye would see
now i have myself to hate
wish it wasn't too late
friendships slip by fast
i laugh now of how i thought mine would last
