Who would have ever guessed
our paths would cross again
that a stranger from my past
would turn out to be my friend

That from just one thing in common
we would share so many more
Makes you wonder why us strangers
had never met before

Five years spent together
yet not one moment to recall
you'd think our paths would cross but once
in classroom, library or hall

Perhaps there is a reason
that over twenty years passed
before we got to know each other
and became friends at last.
