Hereafter

Confused minds caused by uncertainty.

Did I do something wrong?



From one thing to another

From beginning to end

From together to never



You are my friend

That shan't change



But I am not yours

Not any more

We grew and parted ways



I guess that's all part of growing up

Maybe it's part of our fate line



That we weren't meant to carry on

Maybe we grew apart for a reason

That reason allowing us to explore different things



But the fight in me is unnerving

But that's just who I am



Though my battle is lost by the simmering connection

The line is now dead

Killing the communication with a bitter ending



I guess that's ok though

You do you



And I will do me

And maybe one day

We can catch up with memories to share



With a cup of coffee at our then favourite cafe

Maybe we will have children



Sitting on our knees asking who we are

And we'll look at each other

And smile



And say "we're old friends"

And the dead line can reignite



And it won't be goodbye

But a hello

Welcome to the now



But maybe we will cross paths

Without any recognition



And carry on with life

Our friendship a stained memory etched far down deep in our hearts

Unlikely to resurface



Only for memories

When we think back in laughter



Recalling the silly things we did when we were teenagers

We may never reconcile

But memories are the strongest bond



And we will meet new people

People we call best-friends



And learn from mistakes

Adding to experiences

Adding to a chain of people we meet



So what I have to say

Is that no matter where life takes us



I'll look back

Reminiscing

With a crafted smile



And only with a smile

And think of only the good



Forgetting the hurt

Forgetting the neglect

And forgetting the bad



Have a fulfilling life my friend

And maybe one day



We will meet again

Stored with memories bursting to be shared

And laugh
