Friends come and go
They come
They go

They come
They go

But Eventually

Something stops them from coming
Like the sun decides it no longer wants to light our world
Like the moon forgets to glow on romantic nights

The ocean tides bringing people up close so you can see
Exactly who they are
Only for them to be pulled away

Why do we bother

People get tired
People move on

But you

You stay exactly where you are
Not moving forward nor backward
Just in perfect stillness
With no one coming near
Not a sound
Not a flicker

Just you, in this sorrow and solitude.
