Time and Friendship Means Changes - Original Poem

The mind is always rushing around,
Never is there any completely sturdy ground
To simply stand on and know:
It's going to be okay.

Time changes things,
I hate to tell you that it's true.
Remaining friends after amazing life changes...
Well that's not so easy.
Friends, we made our vows
As we stepped forward on graduation day.
"We will always remain friends"
That was clear as night and day.

Yet as summer months rolled on by,
The friendship we once shared became sad and dry.
As I see them in public places once or twice,
They seem almost strangers,
A face I know...
A person I do not.

For over 10 years I had a best friend.
She and I spent countless memories together.
We were there for each-other
And we vowed until the end
We would need no other
Since we had each-other.

Yet here I am,
Most of summer has passed.
We are now just two people
In the scheme of life.
