Thinking about friends.

Today I was thinking of all the friends I’ve lost.
Those kinds of friendships where you never count the cost,
friends that are in touch but remain to be seen,
the friends that come and go and have already been.
We used to say keeping in touch is an absolute priority
but in saying that they are not priority at all.
Did we stand by those words effectively? As now we all fall.

Today I am thinking of all the friends now passed
and find I’m overcome with sadness over what didn’t last.
Some will set up home and have lots of kids.
Others will stay one step behind the world just like me.
We had fun but somehow forgot we would run out of time
but I won’t forget as today I miss a lot of things.
I cannot find you and I am in a kind of yearning.

Today I was thinking of the time we must of leant
and chuckle to myself over memories, time soon went.
It’s not often I look to happier days and sigh.
On this day thus the very moment I’m not thinking why.
In some places I would not change a thing or who was there,
but I didn’t tell all the ones who brought me laughter.
so in me they try to carry on here long after.

Today I was thinking of what dreams I so long to be.
For the dreams that are slowly slipping away from me.
For all the things that are meant to be dear.
I now find everything good once in life is now unclear.
Thinking now there are things that need to be changed
but in life there will always be lessons to be learnt
It will never erase the times, moments of being hurt.

Today I was thinking of you and of you all.
Thinking of the friends here now I must call.
Just to tell you that you sometimes bring a smile to my face.
That I’m learning that no friendship in life is a waste.
That you find ways to make me laugh now and than
But I just want to say thank you for being my friend.
Today I was thinking of friends I’ve lost and the ones
I hope to find.
