Nothing remains

Nothing lives here anymore
Nothing remains 
We all grew up 
And went our own ways 
And nothing is left to prove we 
Ever were there 

Your bike was given to your little brother 
Who has the same teacher as we both once did 
All those years ago 
And the boy that lived down the street from us 
Has found other ways to cope with his feelings 

We no longer see each other everyday 
We don't ride the same bus 
And we don't get up in the morning running to catch it 
We don't walk down the hall together 
Or even say hi anymore 

Nothing from when we were younger remains 
Now it's just a story we both tell our friends 
You're in military school now 
And I've moved away 
And to me you're just a fadded memory 
Of someone I used to know so well 
And I hope that you think about me 
Like I do once and a while 
When the mornings grow cold 
And the nights comfort me 
Deep down I know I'll never forget you 
Cause if I do I'll forget a part of myself too
