Where are you now? (poem)
Where are you now?
The sand of years has slipped through our fingers somehow.
The words we tried to use as bridges between us--
They don’t mean what they meant before.
The stars we thought were guiding us aren’t there anymore.
We were once friends.
Or were we? I don’t know.
Time can be just like sand or it can be like snow.
It covers quietly our memories, our dreams.
We were once friends. Or so it seems.
The world has changed.
The world has rearranged itself.
The paths you used to walk, lead somewhere else.
And if I wanted to find you,
I wouldn’t know where to start.
But I don’t want to look for you.
You are someone new.
I’m someone new.
And still, I don’t know why, I don’t know how,
The thought comes back:
