Growing away from friends is one of the hardest parts of growing up... mostly because the fault lies on our own side for losing touch with each other. Once my closest friend asked me how we had managed to lose touch.. This was my response to him.
He asked me how we fell apart?
He asked me who is at fault?
He can't actually remember,
When we went from here to there?
He asked me how we got from here to there?
And I said "I will answer it for you",
Though perhaps it was not the way he wanted me to.
We got from there to here,
On the clouds traveling through our dreams...
We got from there to here,
When the silence faded between us...
We got from there to here,
When we started believing a dream to be stronger,
than the forces that was keeping us apart...
And we were right then.
We stood in one of the best relations to the earth,
A relation called "friendship"...
We stood in a relation even envied by the Gods,
A relation called "buddies"...
We stayed in a promise that was all too beautiful,
A promise called "companionship"...
You see, we were Alive then
We still are,but altogether for a different reason...
Then,
We got from here to there,
when we started to believe reality to be stronger than love...
We got from here to there,
when we forgot that gravity held no hold on our souls...
We got from here to there,
when we left our dreams and got into real life shoes...
And now I do not know my world,
Even though I am all surrounded,
I can't find my friends,
And the beauty of life dies,
Shut out in the coldest of lies.
But I believe we can get from there to here,
If we just believe in each other...
And I believe we can get from there to here,
If we just take each others hands...
And I believe we can get from there to here,
If only in our dreams, we dream to be together again,
I whispered this to him,
When you're staring across the sky,
Somewhere between those stars and the moon,
Look for me by your side,
I'll meet you with hands outstretched,
Then we'll go - from here to there,
there to here, and back again.
