Winter Pageant

Was it really so long ago?
we were taking photographs
of each other
in our winter pageant clothes
skipping school
going home
running for shelter
from a sudden thunderstorm
kissing raindrops on your nose

What part did I play
in making you the way you are?
What more can I say to convince you
you didn't have to go so far?
you didn't have to go so far?

you may as well live a universe away now
I'll probably never see you again
I wonder where you went
where did you go?
what did you see?
and do you ever think of me?
and california?
and all that time we spent

What part did I play?
in making you the way you are?
What more can I say to convince you?
you didn't have to go so far?
you didn't have to go so far?
