Old friends

I'm tired of walking the same loop

Taking the same few steps forward

Just to walk the same steps back

I'm enamored with the way we were

Enamored with the things we swore

Yet I couldn't care less

About how our lives progress

Living in the past is a pain

Which is why I'm glad to say goodbye

To watch you leave

And watch you cry

You'd never understand

You'd never comprehend

Why I don't demand

When I don't follow the trend

The future doesn't matter

The past doesn't bend

But when I look at the present

My life can be penned

I'm the king of an ever shifting throne

The main character of a nonexistent tale

And you're just a memory

A good ole has-been

In the end

You're the then

And I'm the when
