I know that time
Has changed
Considerably
Between you and me
We grew up
And diverged
Traveling in
Different directions
Incapable of seeing
Each other
Restoring a longingly
Remembered bond

Time didn’t wait on us
Our lives gained ground
Our arms spread out
Like the wings of an eagle
Causing us to take to the air
And traverse where
Our beings could merge
With our dreams
Allow us to find
Yearned for success

I have nothing
But love for you
For doing what
Was best for you
To elevate your aspirations
For pushing yourself
To go forward
When you were
Falling into disrepair

You did what you
Had to do to get
Yourself where
You needed to be
I couldn’t be anymore
Proud of you
Than I am now

I understand
That we may never
Speak again
That as much as
Time continues to ensue
It will make it
Harder for us
Make contact
But I know
The love is still there

We will forever be friends
Two friends
Searching for life
And dreams
Finally finding
What they had
Always been desiring
A world where
Dreams thrived
Undyingly
