Remember summer, setting on the sidewalk?
Sun too bright, concrete so hot it burned our skin.
Time moved slow then, and we talked
Staring ahead, watching the motions
Of the world, the other side of the street
As it waved and, danced in the heat
We were only children

We never said goodbye
Not officially anyway
There was one last day
Unrecognized and simple
Where we didn’t realize
The ending was next
And we moved through
the motions of routine
unaware, unprepared.
How do you ready
for a surprise finale?
One, two, three… you're on!
Three, two, one…you're gone?

at the end: *did you mean "your" as in the possessive or "you're" as in you are?* You know I never nitpick, but it could change the whole meaning of the work and I'd like to know I'm reading it right... :)
