Halcyon Days

Reflecting on a special bond between two people and how much things have changed.

It has been yet a year

but feels like a lifetime.

Since the last we sat together

sitting on the grass.

So carefree in our youth

during our odd respite

from life's difficult toils.

Finding solace in each other's company

bonded through our pain.

Our bond was so strong,

unusual to see one without the other.

No secrets between the two,

nothing left to be discovered.

I miss all the days spent together.

Sitting side by side

singing in the sunshine,

laughter in the air,

and smiles upon our lips.

Look at us today,

miles away.

No more than strangers

who share a distant past.

Time and time again,

we find our way back to each other.

It seems no matter how far away

that we always seem to stray.

We will re-unite once again,

our paths are so different.

We cannot walk it together

but our lives are still intertwined.

Two halves,

of the same coin.

Polar opposite in experiences,

yet somehow still the same.

Though I know we will meet again,

I still long for those carefree days,

when we could act our age as teens

and not the adults life has forced us to be.

Author's Note

Errrr, yeah. Strangely in a bit of a melancholic mood. This was written about a friend I used to be close with,
