That Picture

by ShAtTeRrEdTeArZ   May 31, 2005


The edges of the picture
Are beginning to fade away
The color isn’t as bright
As when we took it that day

The 4 of us together
It seems like forever ago
Through the years and all the tears
What have we left to show?

A memory here or there
A phone call or two
No reason as to why
We let it all slip through

As I stared a little longer
I began to space
I thought of back when
To a different time and place

I remember all the secrets
That we all somehow forgot
The fights that we got into
We were so close I thought

The nights we were up for hours crying
For some reason or another
And somehow over time
We grew apart from each other

When I think of all the memories
Each one bring a tear
And as I continue to think
I realize my biggest fear

I remember the day we promised
We’d be best friends forever
Together no matter what
Always and forever

That memory broke my heart
All our fears are coming true
The close friendship we all had
Is finally falling through

The glass in the picture frame is cracked
Just like our friendship it’s falling away
We pretend to do something about it
But it gets worse everyday

As I watch our friendship continue to drift
I can’t help but let the tears fall
Because if we let our friendship go this easily
Maybe we weren’t that close after all…

    I think you were that close shattered, I also believe people grow apart. It doesn't make either of you less decent people, less intimate friendship nor does it mean your love for each other meant any less. Its just a natural part of life, that we grow and take different paths from those we were once close to at a stage. I'm sure you learnt alot from your girlfriends as they did from you, and I hope the memories of your friendship and wonderful times spent together aren't clouded by the fact that you no longer are :o) Stay smiling sweety...Eirisa
