Being Human
Years lead to parting,
all the while believing that
we will meet again someday,
with the knowledge that such a day may never come,
and with time comes forgetting precious memories
of the past and cherished moments
as time passes by without delay
despite the pleading and praying
resorting to nights of despair laying in bed
with never ending tears
that will dry
leaving marks that will fade
as even the belief turns to memory
never knowing if the other still remembers
and after all this time
knowing that even if a meeting occured
there'd be little to speak of
little to laugh about
little in common
as the other turns into a fadable memory
such is the despair of parting friendships.
Is that the end? Is that all? Do humans have so little fighting spirit against the fate they know of?
Is it so difficult to stay in touch, pulling strings whenever necessary
and meeting whenever possible with todays' technology
and all the wonders in the world.
Can time and space dispel the bonds
such that even when meeting again after great pains at the thought of never meeting again, and eventually tucking that pain in such a desolate corner that the mind barely registers it anymroe can the friends never regain the bonds?
Humans are full in infinite possibilities, and the possibilities are endless, so I'd like to believe, but that all depends on the one, as they exist in many.
They say power lies in many, but the many all start with one.
