I once had two friends
They were the best I had
I shared everything with them
If only I knew they would not last
I woke up with their calls
I texted them in between work
I shared everything with all my heart
If only I knew they would not last
I flew over cities to meet with them
I ran over people to be with them
They had become my life’s new start
If only I knew they would not last
We grew up, we got mature
They got many new friends
& I got my life’s lure
Lunches were postponed
Dinners got cancelled
B’Days now forgotten
And not one of us took a name
We are no longer friends
They can’t stand my presence in their lives
We haven’t spoken in years
And haven’t even tried to jump over the fence
I miss them, to say the least
I wish I had more friends like these
The heart cries, coz now there is just a past
If only I knew they would not last
But now I have two new friends
And they are the best I can ever have
I share everything with them
And I really want them to last.
