Growing Up

Separate and go our ways

I said it couldn't be

You knew that life can let one down

And tried to make me see.

Then one of us took the right road

And to the other, left was right

We'd send each other letters

But don't know what to write.

You also said that time will go

And often we forget

Important things will fade and change.

But I still recall you yet.

I liked to think the paths we tread

Would intertwine once more

To sit under stars and remember

And talk just like before.

But here I am now in the rain

It's dripping down my face

And I'll never see you again

Gone without a trace.
