From Yesterday to Tomorrow
we were strangers once, then we weren’t,
suddenly laughing ‘til our stomachs hurt.
late night talks, dumb inside jokes,
“best friends forever” like it was wrote.
but life moves fast, and so did we,
different paths, different speeds.
you took a turn that I couldn’t see,
while I kept pushing towards what I believed.
I moved forward, chasing dreams,
you stayed true to what made you feel seen.
I looked at the future, eyes set on high,
while you lived for the moment, just getting by.
now it’s “hey” with a nod, maybe a smile,
like we weren’t close for a little while.
you didn’t care for the things I did,
I kept going, while you just lived.
it’s not a fight, it’s not a loss,
just two different lives, no need to toss.
we didn’t want the same things in the end,
but that doesn’t mean we’re not still friends.
