Flashbacks & Goodbyes

Do you ever go some where
That you used to really love
but now your old friends moved on?

Have you ever gone inside
met new popular guys and thought
"Hey, that was me,not long ago." ?

What happend i dont like change,
cause now we've all moved on.
What happend to the long nights we stayed.
Endless topics never stopping
watching as friendship was grown.

And now we're working our jobs
going to new schools.
Changing our lifes for ourselves,
Moving on forgetting everything else
and now i dont want to be alone here.

Some old friends have just became new clones
blend with the crowd and move on.
No one is here anymore
just the new kid who's running the show.

Have you ever looked around?
Seen flashbacks from outside.
Like looking in a window saying
goodbye.

Oh yes. Many times.

I've visited the past so many times and felt sadness, feeling regret and a sense of loss for what I once had. It's very down heartening. But like you said in your lovely poem, it's all gone and can't come back, but you can keep the memories as a good thing and enjoy the many years you have ahead.

Awwww Lil sis…I’m

Awwww Lil sis...I'm guessing you're referring to Neo here in which case it would seem very much so. I know a lot of us don't get on here nearly as often as we used to. We've had many a wonderful times...I adopted you as a little sister here. :) I've seen a few people who became good friends pass by here, as well and never came back again...we gotta have one of our late night Fury Brat sessions again soon!!!!!!!!!!! Peace and love Big sis

oh Adri, this sounds like someone much older

yet rings totally true. That last verse is a killer! Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind." [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]
