There's a strange sensation When you start to grow And you assume no one else grows up That everyone else's lives move slow But then you look at them and realize They're growing too And the hardest part to accept is That they're growing separately than you It's like picking up in the same place with a different person Because the person you know is gone But there's still a hint of them left inside That part of them will always carry on That's why they say friends are friends forever Although the closeness slowly fades And you know they're there, but not enough That's what we try to evade But the thing we forget when we are young Is that time is a force, strong like a brick wall And the older we get, the more we realize That time hasn't stopped, for us or at all.
