funeral

i grew up loving you
once it was easy to love you
as i child i knew of three things;
i liked cookies
i liked playing basketball
and i loved you
looking back now
im not sure what we were
because one year we would be friends
the next year lovers
then friends again
we were each others first kiss
first date
first...everything
but then college came along
and we both had to go our own ways
i heard through a friend of a friend
you were back in town for vacation
you called me and asked to see me
i guess you want to get a sense of closure
or at least to bury the past
or maybe you want to rekindle what we had
well sorry im not game
as far as im concerned
what we had is dead
but i grew up loving you
i at least owe it to myself
to view the body
at the funeral
