The story of a boy and girl

I knew a boy

He smiled and laughed

He always hung out with a little tomboy

They lived across the street

Together they would play

Until their Mothers called them in

A story with an ending not too sweet

They grew up

They became parallel

Long nights spent forever wondering

Where he had gone

Being just across the street

So close

But the walk was too long

The boy no longer thought about the nights spent 

The days spent bouncing on the trampoline

And thinking they could fly

This boy no longer cared

He spent time with his new friends

He went to parties

And all the beautiful girls

The was still a tomboy

Still wore jeans instead of leggings

And it was all gone

Her joy

A sad girl she had grown to be

She wished for the days of flight

Not for her internal fight

While the. Boy had been away

Her father had as well

Left

Gone

Never coming back

She needed her old friend

Where was he

In her time of need

He was different now

A new kind of breed

And she’d  pass him in the  hallways

And he’d watch her walk home

These long nights and days

Spent being alone

To tell the truth

This isn’t the story of a girl and boy

It’s the story of me and you
