Birch tree

we met under a birch tree
our eyes drawn like fire
and we knew our games of climbing
would never ever tire

we grew up under that birch tree
My hand safely tucked in yours
when white t-shirts and dirty jeans
were all we ever wore

Before the times of teenage thoughts
And pressure from our peers
To move past childhood sweethearts
And wipe away our tears

when you liked cake
and all i thought was 'mother always screams'
When daddy came to rescue me
From spiders and bad dreams

when our lives revolved around each other
and you only thought of me
when we spent our days together
under that beautiful birch tree

but now we've both grown older
and you'll be leaving soon
for college and career plans
and for me there is no room

i sit here now and ponder
over where i lost your part
when it stopped being about our climbing
and our childhood fell apart

i'll always have my memories
of times that used to be
when we were so inseperable
lost up in that birch tree
