I lay awake, could not sleep

Thoughts into my mind did creep

Of childhood days we were friends

Never dreamt that it would end.

But even though we do not talk

On opposite sides of streets we walk

That lonely step a bridge too far

Too late now to heal that scar.

We have gone our separate ways

Your warmth and kindness with me stays

How quickly can relations burn

Have we reached that point of no return.
