One of my first memories
Is one of you and me
We were on the playground
Over by the swings

You turned to me and smiled
Your eyes lit up with joy
How could I forget the way
I met the sweetest boy

And through the years
You were my friend
You never judged, no matter what
Even towards the end

You pulled me out of darkness
And brought me towards the light
I tried to forget all those years
I tried with all my might

But something held me back
Something brought us here
Something drove away those thoughts
The joy, the pain, the fear

So what to do? do we let it go
And move on with our lives?
Or do we choose to take a chance
step forward off a ledge and dive?

Now  you see the problem
Is one with many sides
For when the boy is your best friend
You cannot simply hide
