We Were the Ones

I grew up in the town where nothing ever happens. I grew up in the town where the grass grew green and the kids played in the street. I grew up in the town where people whisper about each other. I grew up in the town where I knew nothing but bliss. --- I had a friend who saw a different side. I had a friend who had to hide herself away from the world. I had a friend who felt ashamed of her true self. I had a friend who had nowhere to turn. --- I was the one who grew up in the perfect home. I was the one who laughed when I did not know what to say. I was the one who wanted to help but could never make a difference. I was the one who had to learn so that I could be there for support. --- We were the ones who could get through the hard times. We were the ones that knew there are ups and downs. We were the ones that have found our happiness. We were the ones who accepted nothing is perfect.
