I have a friend

Written by kerryyy05 on November 2, 2009

Around the
corner I have a friend, In this great 
city that has no end, 
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I 
know it, a year is gone. And I never see 
my old friends face,

For life is a 
swift and terrible race, 
He knows 
I like him just as well, 
As in the days 
when I rang his bell.

And he rang 
mine but we were younger then, 
And now we are 
busy, tired men.

Tired of 
playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying 
to make a name.

'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim 
Just to show 
that I'm thinking of him.'

But tomorrow 
comes and tomorrow goes, 
And distance 
between us grows and grows.

Around the 
corner, yet miles away, 
'Here's a 
telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.' 
And that's what 
we get and deserve in the end.

Around the 
corner, a vanished friend. 

Remember to 
always say what you mean. 
If you love someone, tell them. 

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late. 

Seize the day. 
Never have regrets. 
And most importantly,  
stay close to your friends 
and family, for they have helped 
make you the person that you are today.
