This used to be our playground

[_waiting4ever_]

Quote of Gabby's from her journal entry:

"but then we grow up and no matter how long we play in the playground and no matter how much we long to be little and carefree again we can't achieve it. the weight of the real world just lies too heavily on our shoulders. i'd give anything to have a bit of that freedom i experienced when i was little."

i love that. she couldnt have said it better. makes me sad and reminicant at the same time.

This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place i ran to
Whenever i was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday

No regrets
But i wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
