Farewell, Friends

Tears unshed before, fall now The distance ahead, shrunk to an end Memories are spared for us to keep Time continues, even at our standstill Years spent, succumb to a day. Our last paper, joying our spirits Together we wrote; each his own The moment a speciality, faded into seriousness A room filled with relief, not ready to relieve The future is bound, the past is profound. Walking away from the building, once detested A struggled step, not a leap No matter our differences, our commonness are intertwined The regrets we have, are that of knowing The base we had, cherished more considering the unknown. Friends that motivated our wake, promise to stay Lightly are their words taken, the truth we have seen Gratitude owed, to all those who held us up Chapters written, a glory unmatched As our grasps meet once more, finality taints the romance. Life begins again, with responsibilities anew The crossroads met, our respective pursuits acknowledged A farewell granting us solace, to a well-traveled journey Love found, lost to a depart Our childhood glides away; independence, comes to stay.
