A girl, age of six dancing in the rain

Her sister and friend beside her

All escaped the house as a game

Their mothers were out

The babysitter was busy

They sang and they danced

And they spun till they were dizzy

But none of them knew

In the years to come

The things they’ll go through

To make them feel numb

Within ten years

One mother would be gone

All would shed tears

She was simply too young

The sisters would suffer

Separate from the friend

A secret that made them tougher

On the outside but not within

Now the three are older

And they make their mistakes

The world seems colder

As their memories fade

The rain falls slower

The dance seems to end

The laughter seems lower

It’s hard to pretend

That they didn’t wish they were younger again

The girl would’ve laughed more

Cried less

Played more

Lied less

Smiled more

Denied less

Joked more

Sighed less

Hugged more

Justified less

Loved more

Relied less

Lived more

Died less
