Friends

I see them all standing there
Their faces filling my mind
One after another
We've all gone our separate ways now
Each off to start our lives
Some of us pursuing to fulfill our dreams
others searching frantically
amidst the rubble for theirs
We're starting a journey
down an unmarked path to the real world
Only hoping that in the end
there is something to remember the others by
Something other than the fading
memories and crumbled letters
Some small shred of who we
once were to remind us of who we want to be
Life can be terrifying
but we can't change that
We can only cling to one another
So that we don't have to make this journey alone
