Saw an elderly read the obituary
Mortality hit me and felt like eternity
Private fear in a public sphere
Wondering how life is even real

Learned a lot this year in times I didn't want to be here
Learned a lot this year in times I wanted you near
Clocks pass and seconds tick
But nostalgia always hits

Old friends remind me about the good times
New friends make me cherish the time
Past friends will always be friends
Future friends will will.

Friends are family, don't forget
So don't spend time in regret
And don't regret these memories
So you can find time to take the other road
and finally accept.
