Old Friends

Old Friends

In the presence of old friends

Time stands still

The past becomes the present once again

Bringing back cherished memories

Silencing the chatter of how life transformed us

With the shackles of expectations and obligations

And the intoxication of ambition and desire

Before life sank its claws into us

And in that rare and precious stillness

We find a return

To when only friendship mattered
