The days of old are golden
Lost in a haze of smiles and such
Memories that with each day grow olden
A bouquet of experiences all in a bunch
You were always there, always shared
Moments locked in time for us both
Always there for me, always cared
Forever a friendship that I chose
But the days of old are gone
And today replaces yesterday
Time crowds in and pushes me along
And even friendship goes away
Sometimes I miss my friend
And think back with a sigh
And now I know he was just pretend
And with this knowledge my innocence died
We were forever friends
Till time moved us apart
And shown a growing man in the end
The loss of make believe is just the start....
