I had a friend once. A long time ago.

I miss him like crazy. Can't help it, you know.

Years passing by and we just went astray.

Yet we as children shared every day.

There was a box in his big brother's room

under the bed, so my friend had to zoom

in and out quickly, me guarding the door.

We spreaded those Playboys all over the floor.

A ton of young ladies with nothing to wear

provided an answer to what is down there.

»Oh Holy Mary! Just how do they pee?«

Now, there's a picture we don't want to see!

»Let's put these magazines back in the box

under that bed next to weird smelling socks.«

We each had a bike and would swap them sometimes.

Just for the fun of it. Like writing rhymes.

Learning to tease the girls, learning to spell.

Together we handled the teachers just well.

One day decided to break all the chalk.

Math guy was furious. »Who did it? Talk!«

Everyone knew, yet no one dared to tell.

You rat out a comrade, you're going to hell.

I had a friend once. A long time ago.

I miss him like crazy. Can't help it, you know.

I had to grow up and him just the same.

Now when we meet it's a whole other game.

»Blimey! How are you?« »I'm very well, thanks!«

No time to reminisce, no time for pranks...

A few words exchange as we're both in a rush.

Voice of the heart we both learned how to hush.

We used to be besties. A long time ago.

I miss him like crazy. Can't help it, you know.
