Paths Not Shared
Paths Not Shared Growing up Experiences shared But never knowing If we even cared Parties where you lived But you were not there Two classmates Yet strangers Life not always fair Mutual friends and schoolyard dreams Breakups and pain Long silent screams Our paths were similar along the way Though living lives miles away Through laughter and tears we lived our days Now as the twilight of years Comes our way We have chatted and became friends At least for today I wonder what if As we chat each day Did we miss out Or did destiny prevent another way Your kindness apparent And heart open but frayed Our lives go on with family and friends But I wonder what if Our paths found a way Would things have been different
