Growing up you realize the friends who are always there.
Who will stand beside you to the end and who will always care.

Your thoughts will drift to times of joy and sorrow spent with few.
What you know now was a waste of time, you know you'd not redo.

Growing further apart, you can see you are drifting away
You know this time would come, though you didn't want it to be today

Moments passed
Thought they would last
feeling outcast
it all happened so fast

A life has been tossed
Memories not lost
But time has defrost
And all with a cost.

You know the time has come to move on to bigger things
Like marriage, career, and family, the joys life always brings.

But you can't help this feeling that wants to hold you back
To find security in the friends you once had and gain the things that you lack.

You wish with all your heart, that this decision would just go away
But you know with your mind it won't, and all that is left to do is pray.

Moments passed
Thought they would last
feeling outcast
it all happened so fast

A life has been tossed
Memories not lost
But time has defrost
And all with a cost.

The cost of a friendship lost
