REMEMBER , SHES SICK

by Dolls - Pisces

remember when we were friends
you lived on top of the hill
i'd come over everyday
we'd laugh and tell jokes
your mom was there everyday!
remember how she would make us laugh
how she'd tickle us 
remember when she got sick?
you told me first
we spent the whole night in your room
we cried together on your floor
remember when we went to middle school?
i never had classes with you
u'd smile and hug me in the hall 
we were always going to be friends
but as time went on she got sicker and sicker
remember when she use to call my house looking for you?
remember when your dad called that day?
he told us she was in the hosptial 
you had to go home right now!
i went with you,i saw  your mom
she was lying there not telling jokes like herself
i grabbed your hand and held it tight
i left your house that night thinking what would happen
what would happen if she  died tonight?
then one afternoon you showed up at the door 
tears running down ur face
you were a mess  all out of breath
i couldn't believe the words you were telling me
i didn't believe you
you were just playing some sick joke
... but it was real
she was gone and i didn't know what to do
next monday at school i saw you 
you were getting in trouble like always
but i smiled and waved and you turned your head
i'll admit i wanted to pretend it was all okay
that life would be the same
i didn't talk to you for weeks
then you told me you were moving
not far just on the other side of town!
we would still be friends
but were not
now were freshman in highschool
i see you now and again
i can't believe its you
what would your mother say if she saw you now?
if she saw how far apart we have grown
if she saw the way we turn our heads 
and try not to make eye contact
then i remember... shes gone 
and thats why we are so far apat

Reason for writing:

    when i was in grade school my best friends mom got lung cancer as time went on it got harder for us to talk about anything he moved away the same year his mother died and i spent years blameing his mothers death on the lost of our friendship
