Old Friends

My dear old friends, you’ve gone away
Looks like if some of you had not 
Much time to spare, but that’s okay
I’m off as well from your kind spot
We met through game of circumstances 
Of place, time, age and interests
Coincidently given chances
To be each other’s welcomed guests
Were taken instantly as if
Towards forever, but not quite
We shared our joys and firm belief
To find a home, and you did right
Now you are distant through and through  
We’ve changed a bit, as it was meant 
I might be not the one you knew
Same goes to you, to some extent.

Friendships come and go. Sometimes it's hard when we look back and realise we have lost a friend so dear.
