The Story Ends Here

Our story ended here
today.
There will be no more episodes,
no more scenes.
For we have been parted,
and cruelly so.
But life pays us no heed,
and so it goes on uncaring.

Never again shall we share
times we've always taken for granted.
No more is the identity
that binds us as one.
Grief has taken over
and our world is colored with grey.
But time pays us no respect,
and with haste pushes us along.

The future seems so bleak
and we are torn apart.
Friendships, though everlasting,
will be stretched beyond repair.
Memories, though forever,
will fade away slowly.
And the story about us
will one day be no more.

Yet despair not, for although we may scatter
like grains of sand in the wind,
Yet fading memories may still be beautiful,
and friendships may never end.
For isn't the memories of good times,
and friendships potent seeds?
That will one day grow the crops
of the bonds of tomorrow.
