Sweeping Tides

we were once so close
 and now so far
 once together
 now miles apart
 i should have known the friendship would grow cold
 even when you kept on telling me it wouldn't
 i hardly know you anymore
 and neither do you me


 what was once such a beautiful friendship
 is nothing anymore
 just a fragmented memory
 why did we have to drift apart?
 so slowly but so surely
 one day we were one and the next we were two


 it always happens, i should have known that
 we never had much keeping the flame burning
 it has now been extinguished
 without neither of us knowing
 but i do now, now its too late


 i no longer know you as much as i used to
 we hardly talk anymore
 but if i ask you why did we grow apart
 you always say we haven't
 yet we have cant you see?
 its not the same as it once was
 was it you or was it me?
