I don’t have a clear memory of the day that we met;
But we have memories since then that I’ll nrver forget.
Even though you aren’t affectionate, I know that you care;
I know it from the way you spend hours perfecting my hair.
I know it from the way you get me home when I’m drunk;
I know it from the way you sort out my clothes and bin the junk.
I know it from the way that you’re always honest with me;
I know it from how you’ve made me countless cups of tea.
I can’t believe that we’ll never walk to school together again;
Or sit upon the hills outside while you warm me of certain men.
But in the last years, I never realised how close we were;
And even though it’s been a while, times became a blur.
So before you go and start your new adventures without me at uni;
I will pray and hope that you’ll never forget about me.
Have fun and don’t drink too much and I think that you know;
But I have to remind you one last time that ditto.
