Familiar Faces

I can see I remember

That when I was 5 or 6, I was a mender 

Fixing the fences, you brought your axe to

Never thought people could be, so cruel

Until I met you

I can see I remember

The kindness and laughter some people gave me 

The memories just drowned in that deep black sea 

I used to drown, but now I swim 

I threw my plans in the bin

You were wearing a pink shirt yesterday 

While I was wearing black

For our birthdays

Cutting the cake together 

Hoping this moment will last forever
