Old Friends, new lives

We grow up bonding 
we become inseparable 
share dreams and hopes together 
waiting to explore life on our own 
then in a blink we graduate 
go our separate ways 
keep in touch every week 
then every other 
years will pass like clouds 
phone calls and numbers change 
so do addresses and last names 
Life goes on 
we find others to bond with 
become inseparable with our mates 
share new dreams and hopes together 
living life as we grow older 
than in a blink I'm gone 
going our separate ways once again 
you visit the cemetery daily 
then weekly.... 
before long my grave becomes overgrown 
your address changes 
mine stays the same 
Life goes on
