A songfic inspired by the ballad "First of May," by the Bee Gees. Lyrics are original, so don't be telling the FF . net po-po! XD


You are small, and Pine trees are tall /
But that didn't sink our friendship /
Don't ask me why, but Summer's passed us by /
And the days'll be duller without you, Dip.

Now you're taller, and an annual Faller /
But between a freshman & junior there remains that gap /
And goodbye's still a must, come end of August /
But guess we'll always have each other's hats.

Your grunkle's decoy tree, that descended for you & me /
We went into the bunker, one by one /
And I recall, the moment of them all
I told you I was too old, but your crush wasn't done.

Now you are taller, but still smaller /
Than the coolest girl in this li'l town.
But the scare with the Blind Eye, showed how well I can hide,

That you're not the only one let down.

...

I am tall, but I'm feeling small /
I was only doing what I thought was best.
Something's gotta change, before Summer fades,
Because I feel like the Bottomless Pit is in my chest.
