Skittery and Kyriel sat on the couch. A young boy chased a girl around the table and then they both settled down between their mother and father. Kyriel set down the scrapbook that she was carrying and opened it. The scrapbook contained many of their memories from times past. Kyriel looks at the photos, brushing her hand over one where she and Skittery were standing underneath the statue of Pulitzer. The memories seem to come to life as she speaks and Skittery was playfully punching her. Then they were sitting under the stars.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives,
Where we gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same. Skittery walks along the street. Remembering the days of time past, stuffing his hands in his pockets. He sighs and shuffles his feet, kicking a loose stone across the ground. But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Skittery was talking to Kyriel. He took her hands in his and closed his eyes. He slowly began to speak. Kyriel's mouth opened a bit in surprise as Skittery spoke. He brushed a bit of her hair out of her eyes and placed his hand on her cheek. Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound Kyriel now stood on the train platform, waiting to board. She turns away for a moment, memories flashing through her mind as if in a split second. A lone tear falls down her cheek and then in slow motion, to the ground. And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And we got so blue Skittery continued along the road alone. He turned and suddenly punched the wall. Remembering the times that they had spent talking at night. The laughing, the crying, those were the times. How could that change so fast? Time was fleeting and he realized that. He launched into a run back towards the train platform. Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels As he ran, memories flashed through his head. The late night talks, selling papes on the streets of New York. He couldn't just throw that all away. She couldn't leave him and he would make sure of that. As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together Once again, Kyriel and Skittery are talking, but this time the subject matter is serious. They're saying goodbye because Kyriel was leaving. Skittery looked at her in disbelief. He closed his eyes and held her hands in his. He couldn't hide it any longer as a tear slipped out of his eye and down his cheek. And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever Skittery took something out of his pocket, a locket. He moved to place it around her neck as she bowed her head down. Tears were flowing non-stop as in a flash of light, she was getting on the train. She sat at the window and looked to him forlornly. Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end It seemed like eternity before the train started moving. Slowly at first, Skittery stood as if frozen in time. And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly Skittery couldn't find the strength to wave as the train began pulling out of the station. His eyes just slowly followed the window. As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together When it was finally gone, he turned to leave, shuffling his feet as he did. And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever Then he turned quickly, as someone called his name. His mouth hung open as Kyriel stood behind him and he swept her up in a hug. The moment froze and turned into a photo. The children were asleep between them and they looked down admiring them. Kyriel took the boy and Skittery the girl and they headed upstairs to put them to bed.
