Faded

[Reiyn]

The girl sitting in the corner
The boy across the hall,
The little ones hiding in the yard,
You see, I know them all.

The ones who throw
Stones and sticks,
Ice and snow,
Bars and bricks.

The kids from camp,
The children at school,
The ones to fall,
The ones to rule.

Strange though they all may be,
So different from each other,
Something makes them come together,
To find one another.

Fear, it brings strangers close,
And tears friends apart.
And those left start to wonder,
If they'd been there from the start.

And every memory tends to fade,
Friendships forever lost.
We grow up and walk away,
And never think about the cost.

For those who've ever been forgotten.
