I Still Remember

I still remember the games we played
I still remember the price you paid
I still remember the lashings you took
In the name of the so-called good book

I still remember our time as kids
I still remember the good we did
I still remember the world’s response
Our biggest gain was their total loss

I still remember our videogames
I still remember your name
I still remember what we created
How teenaged years left us jaded

I still remember the crazy cartoons
Good guys, bad guys, all were buffoons
I don’t remember where those tapes went
I hope it was money well-spent

Now we are older, time passed us by
High school made us want to die
Though I wasn’t there to see you cry
I could have been if I only tried

Different cities, different stories
Different defeats, different glories
We can never return to those young days
Do you still remember how to play?
