Haven't we been friends since childhood?
Since before your memories are clear?
Don't I remember those things you always forget?
And don't I take you to places and adventures?
Haven't I listened to your stories and poems,
and admired you pictures and sketches?
I have flown your airplane,
passed your notes,
kindled your fires,
recorded your day,
carried your homework,
and played games with you.
Don't dump me for the mysterious stranger,
these "ones" and "zeros".
We grew up together.
