Parting of the Ways

Heavy hearted, heads rest on the other's shoulder,
Fiery and ruddy are the eyes, blinded by many a tear.
The fire may burn out soon, but passions will smoulder,
And forever will remain in melting hearts memories so dear.

Reminiscences flood in, seeing anything from the Earth to the skies,
Swelling hearts and brimming tears indicate the Parting of the Ways;
Embittered souls curse unforgiving, unceasing Time that flies.
Will these young hearts ever re-live their memorable days?

Admiring the friend's strength, while his little weaknesses we've borne,
Giving warmth in despair, tickling ribs when tense, together we've grown,
In caring, comforting and compassionate acts, our fraternity we've shown,
Reassuring the heart that despite the Parting, we'd 'never walk alone'.
Though during the Parting of the Ways, the bereft heart grieves,
Strong is our Bond and shall not crumble like withered leaves.
