From Strangers To Friends To Strangers

We started as strangers, just passing by No need to stop, no connection Then we talked like kindred souls Sharing our days, dreams, and goals with each other There were times we would just cry for no reason There were times we would laugh for hours In good times and bad, you were there for me We shared secrets and memories; we trusted each other with everything We built a bond so strong I thought nothing could come between us But then I moved away And slowly that bond felt like a burden And our lives took different turns We drifted apart like the leaves in the wind Our once-strong bond, now starting to bend I tried holding on, but it was too late Our friendship fading like the sun fades at night An unfamiliar feeling that I don't understand The bond we had now has a different name Our journey that was there is now gone

Kayleigh, Can the strongest bonds come undone? Seems so. "The bond we had now has a different name", yes, well written journey that sadly found an end. -Richard
