Those Were the Days

Do you remember?
when we were little
about 6 years old
nothing really mattered
nobody really cared
that I was a girl
and you were a boy
we never thought
it made a difference
we played with my Barbies
we played with your toy dinosaurs
overalls, jeans, and T shirts
we wore almost the same clothes
nothing was ever awkward
but now I almost never see you
when you have friends with you
or I have friends with me
people look if we start playing together
but at least I know
you're still my best friend
when nobody is staring at us
playing with my knitting kit
and your baseball cards
and we just talk to each other
that's when it isn't awkward
