Where has the time gone? I ask a friend of over a decade. What happened to all those times, When all we did was played? Recalling back on gradeschool, We suddenly began to miss, The fun of days gone by, The joy felt from that first kiss. Remembering the great times, We so often had, As we now begin to think, Life was never sad. Even in rough times, We were there for each other. No matter what the cost, We would be like sisters and brothers. Thinking about times gone by, The fun, the laughs, the pranks, and the fights. Made us realize, deep in our hearts, We were lucky to have friends of this type. We laughed about some things, And cried about others. But we all know, That on our friendship there would never be closed shutters. As we continued talking, A friend looked up at me, Asking one simple question: Where has the time gone? We thought about that, And pondered it ourselves. It just seemed like only yesterday, We were cleaning the gradeschool's shelves. And now we are about to embark, In just a few weeks, On a lifelong journey, That will not be for the meek. We shall depart from each other, From lifelong friends. But even though we may never see each other again, Our treasured friendships will never end. As I sit here, Thinking alone. That taunting question keeps coming to mind, Where has the time gone? This question, I cannot answer today. But as I move along life's road, I have faith that I'll discover it someday.
