Transient Friend

It feels like centuries, a time far from here, Times and events, Distant and unclear. A bond we shared through thick and thin, Once made of steel, now as weak as foil tin. Why did this happen? I know not how, When did it begin? It eludes me now. My friend, my companion of life long past, Far from me now, time had flown so fast. Lamenting for the time when we were like glue, We played, we laughed. There were none like you. I will not settle with memory alone, I will seek you out, we shall atone. For time we have lost, we must regail The stories of our lives, the triumph and fail. They say that a friend is ephemeral with time, Fallen out of touch, but forgetting is the crime. For we should endeavor to keep our friends, To settle all disputes and make amends. Don't let silence fill the void, Or friendships will be damaged or worse, destroyed.
