Friends

Has the time come already to rebuild and move on
My feelings and emotions reflected in the lyrics of so many songs
The shadow you cast on my spirit is fading, the grip you had on my mind weakening
My heart still aches for the rip that was there but everything has a beginning and an ending

I grieved for what seemed like an eternity, I cried tears that wouldn’t dry
Today it was like universe closed the valve and said a new beginning it’s time to try
The idea of just being your friend seems so odd and wrong
As I hear and remember the lyrics of a thousand songs

Even as I write I feel the fear and begin to choke back tears
When I remember those thirteen years
But fear is the mind killer and the heart killer too
And I have so much in my life yet to do

I so wish it could be with you at my side
I can see us watching worlds collide
Learning life’s lessons together
Remembering previous ones and repeating them never

I think too much this I know
And every time I think of you my heart it does glow
But everything that has a beginning has an end
And I guess I’ll have to settle for being friends.
