I used to think true friends were always there for each other…
Whatever the time, whatever the problem
I thought true friends were always there…
Through the good times and the bad
Through the happy and the sad
When I turned around I thought my true friends would be there.
I used to think if someone put me down,
my true friends would not falter…
That they would stand by my side
That they would stick up for me
I thought true friends were proud of each other…
That no matter what,
They would always defend their true friend
When I turned around I thought my true friends would be there.
When I turned around my true friends were not there…
I thought that they were no longer my true friends
But then I realized I thought wrong…
Perhaps I am too traditional in what I think a true friend should be...
Perhaps I have too many expectations
After all in this modern world people are busy,
Too busy to lend a friend a shoulder to cry on..
Too worried about their reputation to stand up for someone else…
Too busy with people to spend time with true friends
Too busy making a name for themselves
that they forget to share their new name with those who care…
I used to think that no matter how many years passed…
No matter how much technology changed…
That true friendship would always remain the same,
But I thought wrong. |
