" DISTANCE CHANGES ALL"

TALKING TO YOU MAKES IT SEEM LIKE OLD TIMES . . .

FEELS THE SAME,

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT - ALMOST DISTANT.

WE USED TO TALK FOR HOURS,

BUT OUR CONVERSATIONS ARE ONLY LIMITED TO MINUTES NOW.

SO MUCH MORE IS COMING INTO PLAY NOW,

EVERYTHING IS SO COMPLEX.

IT USED TO BE SO SIMPLE,

SO EASY.

OUR LIVES CHANGING IN TIMES WE ARE DISTANT,

KNOWING THAT SIMILARITIES LAY BURIED IN THE PAST.

KEEPING IN TOUCH BECAUSE WE FEEL COMPELLED TO,

DUE TO THE TIME INVESTED IN OUR STRONG FRIENDSHIP.

KNOWING THAT ONE DAY, MANY YEARS AGO,

YOU WOULD CARE ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON,

OR IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME.

KNOWING NOW THAT YOU PROBABLY DON'T CARE,

OR DO YOU JUST PRETEND TO CARE?

TIME CHANGES PEOPLE INTO OTHER PEOPLE,

A CONSTANT METAMORPHOSIS.

YOU LOOK AND SOUND THE SAME,

BUT YOU ARE DIFFERENT - VERY DIFFERENT.

I ONLY WISH WE COULD HAVE CHANGED TOGETHER,

SHARED LAUGHTER AND SECRETS TOGETHER.

BUT AS I TALK TO YOU NOW,

I MUST WONDER IF YOU ARE STILL THE PERSON -

I USED TO HOLD SO DEAR TO MY HEART.
