Some friends are only meant to be
temporary.
Now that doesn't mean they weren't real.
The time, the laughs, the memories-
they were all real!

Some friends blow in with the wind
and stay for a while.
All you can do is laugh, help each other grow, and then
let them go at the next tide
when a new wind comes for them.

Don't hold them back like birds in a cage.
Release them!
Would you want a friend to ensnare you
and with an iron grasp, hold you selfishly enraged?

Some friends are temporary,
but the happiness they bring
can last forever in your memories.
