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
