To Andrew, on What Should Have Been Our Prom Night Part I

Circa 2004

Remember that summer,
Back when we were younger,
And the future was still the future,
And it was so bright.

And I didn't have so many scars,
And you still wore funny clothes,
And we caught fireflies and named them,
Laughing the whole night through.

Remember that summer,
Back when we were younger,
And we still called you Andy,
And it was alright.

And we listened to boy bands,
And you came over to swim in my pool,
And time meant nothing to us,
Because life wasn't that cruel.

Remember that summer,
Back when we were younger,
And I wanted to hug you,
And you always let me.

And we were best friends,
And future prom dates,
And I believed every word that you said,
Because I loved you.
