Back in school in our heyday we were cool
We shared times we birthed rhymes we penned lines
My dreams were your beliefs your words my seeds
We grew wide spread wings to fly things change
It's stupid to fight you agree I concede
We stay close for awhile
Until my first child

My life privileged yours so hard
You walked alone I had a home
I lost you in the valley the storm the abyss
I was thriving you were sick barely surviving
The odds too great to sway your fate
Bitterness and hate ate your strong heart
You say I fear what drove us apart
You push away my hand and tell me hard truths
Doubting others demanding proof
My friend who never lies severs our ties

Years gone by
I dream of you sometimes
your raucous laugh and sunkissed eyes
in that smile I stay awhile
when life was fair hope lived there
Together we climbed the crystal stair
We shared the same fruit ate of the same tree
the promised life of all we believed
rotted roots twisted leaves
Not enough sun and room for growth it seems
Still I dream....
