Years and years pass,
people grow apart,
wishing they'd done something.
Something more in the past.
Life goes on, people do.
They react much simpler though...
If you cry people think twice.
If you smile people admire your elegant grace.
If you laugh people adore your spirit,
but when you remember them
they dont remember you.

The author's comments:
In life you meet people you can be best friends, but then you don't see each other as often as you did, then you drift apart. You see this friend again they are different and spacey. They got separated had new experiences. So don't dwell in the past because your only hurting yourself. :)

I love this, because although I can only slightly relate to this, I liked how you made me felt like I could.
