This Remembrance

Four years ago

we came to a place unknown

where no one was like you

and you were all alone

and first impressions were

the most important thing to you

but somehow you never found out

to be yourself is all you have to do

so put on that makeup

the kind that lets you hide

behind the truth the blush

and mascara will run just like you

then put on that face the one

that makes it look like you care

and wear it today and everyday

be prepared to let someone down

so simple it may seem to follow

what everyone's doing the hardest

is knowing who you are and that

you're close yet so far away (at the same time)

And when you look back and replay all the past

the friends that you once had were yours

one day but now all that's left are

the memories and secrets kept the goodbyes

and high-fives you made that day you gave in
