Letting Go

We grew up together then we drifted apart.
We went down our own roads, but they're still in my heart.
As kids in school we saw each other everyday.
When graduation came we all went a separate way.
Where we ended up was nothing like we planned.
Because growing up we thought we had the world in our hands.
I reminisce those days because I don't see them today.
If we had another chance it wouldn't have been this way.
Life throws curves, I guess thats how it goes.
But they're still in my heart as our distance grows.
The memories we shared are all in the past.
Little did I know those memories would last.
That was back then, now I'm thirty years old.
I'm now just letting go in a world that can be cold.
