We were just going to the fair to watch fireworks.
We were just going to a party.
We were just playing a video game.
We were just giving the dog a bath.
We were just sleeping side by side.
We were just going out to eat.
We were just going for a walk.
We were just going to the beach.
We were just going to the store.
We were just up all night singing songs.
We were just on the phone for half the day.
We were just playing basketball.
But it was all those simple things we did,
That I fell in love with,
The moments we no longer speak of.
