  Sight burned away by anger 
  exhaustion 
  I regret the loss of a friend 
                                   We still keep up our 
  communications 
  But the strain of presence shows 
                                   We both want to change 
  take back 
  The mistakes and excuses we made 
                                   We want to erase a month 
  eradicate 
  But it seems so hard 
                                   Yet I cannot believe it is over 
  extinguished 
  Vanished from my life 
                                   Then I find that change is inevitable 
  ever flowing, ever moving 
  Friendship will endure
