oblivious inevitability

remember when we used to swing on the swings

while singing a cheerful tune

at the top of our lungs

and greeting those who walked by?

those times are long gone

we've made mistakes

we've hurt

and we've somehow lost each other.

you've changed

and i've changed

but tell me,

which one of us changed for the better?

tell me, old friend

what will happen when your "friends" leave you?

what will you do when the parties stop,

when high school ends,

when the high is gone,

when people simply stop caring about you?

you will fade into oblivion

like everyone else, like me

your time will come to an end

it's the inevitable truth.
