We’ve been close friends for awhile,
It’s in school that we met,
Surrounded with unlimited smile,
Our bond was like silk georgette.

As life took its course for us,
We saw different ends,
And our texts and talks dropped thus,
Leading us to unknown amends.

New friends, new life, new spirit set free,
We worked on our endless goals,
Until someday we meet again in sight see,
Working in pretence of our roles.

Previous days were happy and glee,
We’d be all over the table,
But today saw us simply let it be,
Year after year distanced us in fable.

From friends to acquaintances this walk,
Thread unknowingly for some,
While some reasoned out of talk,
Yet we except a false peace to come.
