We Were Boys. Poem by Samuel Segun Toluwalase

Look! Look at us
You remember? You remember it all?
You'd always went with me everywhere
You'd always kick a brick anywhere

We used to hold your hands
Like we were a couple
Like we were brothers
But we were friends

School was always an adventure
You made it so always
And although we looked to the future
We still made use of the presence anyways

We ran a lot too
Stole neighbors fishes
And fed them to the chickens
But for the time and seasons, life would decide for us two

I hate that we have grown
I hate that we have left home
Although we never had toys
We will keep the memories of boys
