Of Broken Strings and Nostalgic Contemplations

I remember how we laughed

At the ‘best friends’ that broke apart

I remember how we laughed

When ‘true’ friendships that collapsed

But look at where we are

Yet another pair of ‘best friends’

That broke apart

And yet another ‘true’ friendship

That collapsed

I remember how we promised

To let nothing take us away

I remember how we promised

To stand beside each other

Till death did us apart

But now how it deteriorates

The relationship we once shared

All that is left of it now

Are the broken fragments

Of the strings that once held us together

The memories

Good and bad

Shall last for ever

But what lasts of us now

Are two people

Who acted like lovers

But do not look each other’s way anymore
