When Life Turns Gray

When Life Turns Gray Remember when we laughed all day the beach was full of sun the warmth upon our faces when all we knew was fun Remember when we lived the moments and life was void of fear we danced a tune of freedom that only we could hear Remember when we traveled abroad when limits didn't exist a fresh new adventure awaited us with ignorance and bliss Remember when you moved away yet somehow we survived a phone call kept us busy and let us feel revived Remember when your thoughts turned gray yet subtle it seemed at first a saddness in your eyes appeared for a never ending thirst Remember when we discovered you your secrets could hide no more the world grew dark and dim that day as your richness turned to poor Remember when we shouted but in the end I cried because I could not help you and eventually... you died
