Tell me, where did our time go?
It seems like yesterday, we were all together
Laughing, joking, making plans, so many plans.
We were strong weren’t we?
United, we were there for each other through the anger,
The bitterness, the joy, the pain.

But that was yesterday, a million years ago.
It is different now, the world has changed,
But I am the same quiet, shy girl I was then,
Hiding in the corner, invisible,
Always by your side.

I sit alone, wondering where you are now,
Wondering if you are different,
Whether you touched your dreams or whether they
Shattered around you like a broken glass.

Do you still think about me?
Do you still remember me, the silent presence standing in the
Back of your mind.
Or am I just some distant memory,
A scribbled goodbye note in your leavers’ book?
Or are you lost like me?

We are older now.
Time flies like a butterfly, graceful and delicate,
And life is a river flowing out to sea,
Like drift wood we floated apart,
Now I can’t touch you, you are so far away,
So far, far, far away.

Moments flicker like flame and die,
Forever trapped in the past,
And all those memories we share, the fun, the laughter
Are fragile like moth wings.
They are vivid and golden tainted with the blood
Of adolescent angst.
The scars of departure have healed but will never fade.
Is it the same for you?

Time moves on, pushing us forward, forward, forward;
And forcing us to leave the past behind like a forgotten child
And the future is a path bathed in darkness,
A shrouded enigma.

I shall remember you as you are;
And you shall stay forever in my past
Where it is always summer.
