Do you remember
second grade?
When we first met?
In just that year
We knew
We would be friends forever.

Do you remember
growing up?
Moving on through life together?
You and me and Toni too,
Friends forever, we said.

Do you remember
sixth grade?
Below those three trees
at recess?
On the playground
Laughing together.
Undoubtedly, we'd be friends forever.

Do you remember
when you told us we were moving?
And we were afraid
California is a long way from Minnesota.
We were worried
That we might not be
Friends forever.

But we didn't have to worry.
No distance can keep us apart.
You'll always be
our Minnesota girl at heart.
We will still be
Friends forever.
