Faded Friendship
One step closer
Arms open wide
One step closer
You look into my eyes
One step closer
You grab me and just squeeze
One step closer
Let me go I need to breathe
One step back
You smile and say hello
One step back
I laugh you say a joke
One step back
We go through our day
One step back
You leave and turn away
Class mates, neighbors friends without a cause
Swimming pals, school gals, we never took a pause
Yet something different this year
You’re different and not so near
You’ve got your friends and I have mine
We do different stuff and that’s just fine
You go to movies and go on dates
I have people over and use paper plates
Times have changed since log ago
Closeness has faded where did it go?
