MY FRIEND                                        ~~~                                                        My long lost friend                                       You have returned to me at last                                        How far away you've been                                        But you are here once again                                              No, you are not like I remember you                                        You have changed somehow                                        But time changes us all                                        Yes, you, my friend                                        And alas, even me                                        But as you have returned                                        Something else has returned                                        Part of me that you took with you                                        You have part of me because                                         I know I have part of you                                         Has time really changed so much                                         That we have forgotten who we were?                                         We were children once                                          We shared laughter and secrets                                          We shared friends and enemies                                           Bullies were no match                                           For the friend who                                           Would not let them hurt me                                           The pain of losing my friend                                           Was worse than any fist                                            But you are here again                                            My true friend                                            You are here once more                                            And you won't get away so easily                                            That's for sure.
