Umbrella In the Rain

When I was young friend I met you at school, And found your company cool, Ignored differences and stayed a fool, Having a friend was a rule. In my adolescent years friend I could only see you, My deepest fear being what I'd do without you, A day didn't pass without talking to you, My past, present and future were you. In my college years friend I saw in you my savior, I saw in you a survivor, But you my friend said goodbye like a lover. Years later friend I met you again and wondered if I could call you one, Perhaps I had picked up the wrong one, Perhaps my innocence had failed and you had won, Never imagined your friendship had intended a pun. Down life's road friend I met you again, You looked at me like I cause you pain, Where is the umbrella we shared in the rain? Not a friend but a stranger you would remain, While you enter and exit along life's lane.
