Friendship

They say a friend
Is a friend forever
Even in
The roughest weather
Though life’s seas
Are tossed about
A friend will be there
To help you out

But there are times-
It’s sad but true-
When friendship’s flame
Dwindles in you
The excitement is gone
It’s not new anymore
And painfully so
Our old friend is a bore

So we put away friendship
With a lock and a key
I just want to say…
Don’t let that be me
It may not be new
But don’t let it die
I won’t if you won’t
I won’t say goodbye.
