Broken Friendship

Around the corner I have a friend,

In this great city that has no end,

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,

For life is a swift and terrible race..


He knows I miss him just as well,

But the days go by just like Hell.

And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name.


"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on her.

Just to show that I'm thinking of her”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,

And distance between us grows and grows.


Around the corner, yet miles away,

"Here's a telegram sir," "She died today."

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.

Around the corner, a vanished friend.


Remember to always say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself.

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time,

it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.

And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped  
make you the person that you are today.
