Many years have past on us <br />In which we stand today <br />A sad departure we must take <br />Wishing for another way. <br /> <br />Many memories we have made <br />Upon the splendid years <br />I look at you and your sorrowed face <br />And eyes that shed small tears. <br /> <br />I reminisce those wondrous times <br />We truly had shared a few <br />And remembering the lessons you taught me <br />As I did for you too. <br /> <br />In this moment we start to laugh <br />And then we start to cry <br />We share an embrace we hope will linger <br />As time slowly goes by. <br /> <br />Yet now our paths must separate <br />So long my fellow friend <br />Perhaps our paths will someday cross <br />For this is not the end.<br /><br />Genevieve Pilat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/separate-paths-2/
