Remeber when we were kids?

Remember when we were 13 and were really insecure? We would stand around in groups in hopes that you would know our names.

Remember when we were 14? We would rock out to Switchfoot in the car as our mother's drove us around. And we thought we were so old.

Remember when we were 15? We were cynical of most everything just because it was cool. We didn't know who we were. We just wanted you to love us.

Remember when we were 16 when we learned how to drive away? I met you at your house for the first time. For the first time we were like the kids in the movies.

Remember when we were 17? We were popular then. We did what we wanted and paid the price. We thought about the future but not about the present.

Remember when we were 18? In one day we became adults. What is responsibility? We grew up that year by learning. No longer do we want to grow up. Life moves too fast.

Remember when we were kids? It all happened so fast. Why did we wish it away? A memory serves that purpose of reminding us where we have been.
