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
