In Passing
I saw an old friend from school today
I asked, 'How have you been?' He replied, 'Mighty fine, and how's your day?'
It's funny but I couldn't quite recall his name
But those fiery eyes and friendly smile were still the same
You know, quite some time has passed since I last saw this friend of mine
Just think, after all this time, he was happy to see and know I was doing fine
He never asked me about the new car I was driving, my love life, or my career
He just smiled as he walked away and softly said, 'Good to see you again, take good care.'
