Saw
an old friend recently
Many
years we’d been estranged
A
pleasant reunion but
Some
things never seem to change
We’d
shared good times in the past
I
learned many things back then
But
now there’s something lacking
In
my old familiar friend
It’s
not that my friend had changed
Certainly
that’s not the case
Instead,
I thought differently
Than
in my earlier days
It
seems that I had progressed
Whereas
my old friend had not
I
found myself looking for
Qualities
my friend had not
There
is a certain comfort
In
things that just stay the same
Though
not always easy to
Revisit
from whence we came
It’s
disquieting to find
The
once-familiar now strange
I’m
a different person now
But
some things, they never change
Wonderful poem and so true. I found that I have nothing in common with those I hung out with when I was younger. Our lives are so different.
