i was there and she was there,

we met in second grade.

we fingerpainted, dressed up dolls, together laughed and played.

together went to our first dance,

and kissed on the same day.

"Will be friends now and ever"

was what we used to say.

In the ninth grade, we still liked to play

but each in very different ways,

the days went by, one by one,

and finally, i saw her none.

one day ten short years later

she played too much and died

now i am here, but she is gone

and no one cared to cry.
