Friends

once we said that we would always be friends
once we agreed to stick together
but in the end, we were naieve
to think that we would always have each other

we planned out our colledge
we mapped out our lives
we were all set to grow up
but we did not know the stregnth of times

we saw everything
as if it had already been done
we practically lived together
we always had alot of fun

but in the end
time tore us apart
first i moved away
then the distance moved our hearts

we tried to stay in touch
but it just didnt work
i was making new friends
and our friendship was left dead in the dirt

when we look back on it now
we see foolish thoughts
of times that would never end
and all the time we bought

we still get together
but its never the same
maybe we expect too much
maybe we've grown more sane

theres no hard feelings
we still love each other like brothers
the past has killed this friendship
but the future will bring others


i wrote this poem because i had some naustalgia about an old friend of mine, as the poem says, we were like brothers, until i moved, we still stay in touch, but its never the same, but when things drift apart like we did, its hard to truely miss it.  i miss the good times, but i dont think i would want to move back, because me and my friends have all changed, and we'd still be acting the same


 always follow your heart, never follow others unless it is truely where you want to go, and never give up a dream, maybe just set it aside...:)

Hey man, I know exactly what yer saying.  Over the last couple of years, the group I started hanging out with just after I graduated, has gotten further apart.  Tom got married and has a kid...my brother is engaged with 2 kids, and the rest of us get together on the weekends usually, but it's never the same as it was before when we all lived to together, partied together, cried together, and grew into our adult lives together.  We all still love eachother and are still eachothers best friends, but the time we have for eachother has been killed by the courses our lives have taken us.  I know that years from now, I'll still know these guys and have some new friends... but I'll never be as close to a group of guys like Mike Tim Jason Thad and Jason C.....never.

Hi
I don't agree with that. You change yourself over a period of time..not to the extent of not feeling the goood old times with your friends..after we have grown along with them.
Sincerely

ok well you just scared me out of my wits! My best friend and I have plans forever! We have plans to grow up together, live together, go to college together. Now I'm scared! All I can do is hope that doesn't happen to us! That girl is my best friend in the world, if falling apart is our destiny then I'm screwed! I depend on her to get through each and every day of my life as she does with me. If us falling apart is what the cards read I don't know what I'll do. Now I'm deathly afraid this is going to happen! =0( oh no. I hope it doesn't! I LOVE YOU MICALE!!! SISTERS-4-LIFE!!! Love Always~*~Jessica Lynn~*~
p.s. sorry to hear about what happened to you! =0(
