Do You Think About Me?

  I was five when I first saw her smile

  A girl with eyes as bright as stars

  And I still remember how the wind blows her hair

  The sound of her voice that echoed through the day.

  I met her on the first day of school

  She reached out my hand and assured me with a smile

  Promising me I found a friend in her

  That I could confide.

  Drenched in raindrops and dirty with mud

  We laughed together and sometimes cried

  She read me stories and taught me how to fly

  With garland flowers as my feathered wings.

  Do you think about me

  The way I think about you?

  Do you remember your childhood friend

  Like I remember you?

  Our picture together was torn apart

  When I moved a hundred miles

  I can only look up at the sky

  And hope you're looking at the same star.

  I sit on my chair and hear your happy little voice

  And when I see those white flowers

  I smell them and remember

  The day you wore them around your neck.

  Clad in your white dress

  Like a little angel dancing with the wind

  I see you smiling in my memory

  And remember how you do everything so lovely.

  Do you think about me

  The way I think about you?

  Do you remember your childhood friend

  Like I remember you?

  We didn't even had a chance to say goodbye

  Or fold a flower between the pages of our story

  I catch the raindrop in my hand

  And hope you're doing the same the way we used to.

  And sometimes I wonder what could've been

  Would we still be dancing under the rain?

  And when I look on our old photographs

  They faded away but alive in my memory.

  Do you think about me

  The way I think about you?

  Do you remember your childhood friend

  Like I remember you?

  Are you still waiting at the stone benches?

  Will I find you smiling the way I last saw you?

  I'm coming now don't you worry

  I haven't forgotten you and I'm coming back.

  I just hope you're at the other side

  Clasping our old photographs

  Remembering all the fun we had

  Like we were princesses of the world

  Do you think about me the way I think about you?

  Do you remember your childhood friend like I do?

  You were the sister I never had

  And I still hope one day I'll find you.
