"Since You Were Three"
Little children, the first boy I knew
Age of three, and on cloud nine
I thought I had met my best friend
Known you since we were three
Growing up together
Playing together
Laughing together
Eight years later
Our bond stronger than ever
Only to be broken
By others making fun
Of the relationship we have
Known you since you were three
Growing up together
Playing together
Laughing together
To think I thought I would never lose you
Only for fate to prove me wrong
Ten years wasted, due to my blindness
all ended in heartbreak
Known you since you are three
Going up together
Playing together
Laughing together
I thought I knew you since you were three
Only to see that
I was wrong all along.
