Slowly at first as the lyrics
tear at the festering memories
of love and friendship gone by.
I can remember how by chance
or maybe it was me.

I walked into their lives,
and some how I hurt them like
a virus that communes with
their tragic bits in their soul.

Yet as I stare back I see
them more happy then the
world can possibly give them.
One is getting married,
and the other is happy with
the souls around her.

Another found the love
that is odd and simple.
All I can do is miss
the moments that each
one gave me for a glimmer
in time.

I look away sadly,
as I realize that love
and friendship are gone
like shifts of sand
mixed with fall leaves.

All I can do is fall
as the leaves around
me remind of my short commings.
Each drop I drink down
as I try to walk further
away and fall deeper away
so that nobody can ever
touch me again.

Maybe I can save the
world in my special way
as I fall into the
summer wind and scatter
like bubbles in a tub
that stole away life in a blink.
