Once friends we've grown apart the past has gone <br />But like 'tis said of life that life goes on <br />They have forged new friendships that does suit me fine <br />Their interests are so different to mine <br />I would not try to avoid them on a street <br />And we still would talk if by chance we did meet <br />Though in common with them I have little for to share <br />But that goes both ways of such I am aware <br />I do not dislike them in any way <br />We just drifted apart that would seem fair to say <br />They do lead very different lives to me <br />And we look at life one might say differently <br />Such close friends of mine but that was in the past <br />In life so few things ever seem to last.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-friends-we-ve-grown-apart/
