Retrospect...

Friend, sometimes time seems to drag on...and on...and on... Hours to days...days to weeks...weeks to months...months to years... And at other times...just yesterday...so many years into yesterday Stolen moments rob us of the innocence of youth Friend, sometimes our days together...lasting forever...happily One hour...so many hours...good memories...you and me...and all our friends... Yesterday today tomorrow melding...today succeeding End of day...negative thoughts surfacing...positive ones dissipating...tomorrow fading My friend, I didn't see your pain fast enough Moved way too little way too late Other than to dedicate Some words in retrospect Friend, you've become a memory now...today...and...tomorrow... Sleep beckons...time is suspended...dreams await...goals unfulfilled Nightmare fade away and from the darkness light us with a new day Good night, my friend, may you now forever rest in peace
