Onetime Friendship

Onetime Friendship 

Listening to “The Million Dollar Hotel” 

I remember the days gone past 

I recall being a man that was called “best” 

Figuring all relationships would last 

But my how things have changed 

Every day something new rolls into life 

Who’d have thought that I’d lose a friend 

The day that he marries his wife 

A connection may still exist 

Through mutual acquaintances and heresay 

We meet up sometimes perchance 

We both seem to know the other’s OK 

But the moments that we shared 

Are now but memories caught in celluloid 

I feel like the person he thought was so close 

Is now the one he’s working to void 

So now I wander through my life 

Enjoying the little things with all new friends 

Like watching critters eating jellybeans 

And inking and doodling to no end 

I still think about my comrade 

Music seems to set my mind a wandering 

But I let Bono’s songs pass through me and leave 

Of that my friendship I shall stop wondering.
