Even though I miss my childhood friend, more than anything else, I am thankful that our friendship had such a positive effect on my life. I hope that they, too, are finding their own happiness, wherever they may be. I hope that readers can relate to this song, as I think that this is a universal feeling that everyone can relate to. I wrote this song on the edge of naivety.

"Toy Box"

I hope this letter finds you

My dearest of dear friends

For many moons I've wondered

How that you had been

The last time that I saw you

We were just small tykes

We colored with our crayons

We trudged our path on bikes

I remember crying

And skies as grey as coal

The day you left this small town

You took my heart in tow

[Chorus]

But if I put you in my toy box

Would you promise that you'd stay?

Would you promise that we'd play

Like we did on yesterdays?

I know the word is changing

And I know that we are, too

But if I put you in my toy box

It might be like it used to

I hope this letter finds you

I hope it finds you well

I hope that it reminds you

Of the time we sailed

You were a captain

and I a buccaneer

You and me together

Never a fear

Never a fear

Never a one

[Repeat Chorus]

I couldn't write this letter

In any ink or pen

So I bought Crayolas

To channel me from then

And if this letter finds you

My childhood friend I miss

Everything we ever did

Has made me reminisce.

Attached is a link to the recorded version of this song. I tried to maintain a live feel to the song, as I think that heavy production would mar my most honest song.
