Last Day of School

I stroll home, an era ended, I will not miss those faces which I will never see again As I did not care to know them before; All the people who matter are but A phonecall away, We've been together all our lives and Nothing can tear us apart. For my friends cocoon around me and I Am happy to keep them there, Protecting me from the unknown And blinding distant dangers. Then should I want to start afresh, My butterfly will break free and Flutter curiously round the world, And everything will work out fine. And that's when I catch her eye. Light-hearted dreams crash into the Ground around me and I stare as it Sinks in... I'm never going to see her again. It can't be true. The last thing we had in common Stripped from under our feet, Though I don't think she Really minds. It's just too much to comprehend as I watched her walk away, I never thought that This would be the day... I guess it had to come, and we've had a good Few years. A lifetime of memories and One-sided joy, as I know that never ever Was it mutual. But whatever; it never is, and at least I Can in my heart and mind take comfort as She won't be there to provide it. Then again, I suppose that's what friends are for and To have them I am blessed. Now it's all I can do to get cloudy-eyed Over old photos and news of what She's doing. So no matter what adventures and Pain the future will bring, She remains my love, my muse, My everything.
