Hello-Good-Bye
April 2, 1992
hello
I met you in the fields
at the games the children played
then you disappeared
reappeared years later
and once again you were a stranger
no longer the person I knew
or thought I knew
so I see you thus my senior year
last of this school I am to attend
then off into the world we go
unfair I cry
yet life flows on
is it right I wonder
to know you only for the taste of a moment
then watch you slip away
to know you takes time
yet time like life moves on
I see your face in my memory
the way you move as you play the games in life
as I see your face today
I see you move on
step from my world into your own
yet I could have known you
gotten to see who you really were
I suppose ��
you could have seen inside me too, with passing time
yet life like time flows on
you disappear
who will you be next time
will you be the person I almost knew today
who caught me at my lies
matched your lightness to might shading for a while
will you be the person I once again think I know
or come close to
does it make sense when I ask will I ever see you again
does it make sense when I say the future is a monster
waiting to eat you alive
change you
I do not follow
yet time like life moves on
and where will we be all these years from now
a name and a face almost remembered
not even a picture to our names
children almost
yet beginning to see
innocence starting to leave yet still hanging on
where will we be
holding jobs and having children if we so choose
what remains of the child
where is this reality coming from
will we all fall down relying upon ourselves
will the walls around us fall, conquered or let down
who knows and a we slip away
for life like time moves on
and you are gone
I wonder
should I hold tight my memories
should I let go
to you and all my friends there is so little time
you all are slipping away from me
across the state or across the ocean
and what is left in memories when all is changed
not enough time left to view the changes ��
love what is to love ��
nor even adapt so as not to hurt
I try to change my lies but what else should I change
will I ever learn or help another
you and all my friends slip away
for time like life moves on
do you wonder I hold on to my friends never letting go
