Some friendships fade but leave a heavy mark, A tug that lingers longer than it should; And when the mind keeps turning in the dark, We learn not every bond was ever good. There’s a habit in holding on too tight, Letting memories outstay what they were But time reveals, in gentler morning light, How little truth we ever saw in them. People chase echoes hoping they’ll feel whole Trying to revive a warmth long gone But soon they see the cost of playing roles For stories that were never meant to last So when the past grows quiet on its own It’s simply life making a needed room And letting go becomes a common tone A small relief after a long, slow gloom.

Distant mark of friendship - too close for comfort
I've been wondering What makes you As you are I can't quite fathom What's your homing star Can't give you your freedom Won't give you a cage It's seems you don't know what you want At this stage See, I can't help you While you're on the mend I can only hold your hand And be here as your friend.
