4My friends at good old Douglas Anderson School of the Arts inspired this. I dedicate this, and my friendship, to them.
The Inevitable Change
Her worries have come true...
At first they seemed silly
The thought that things would change
It's only three weeks
What could possibly happen?
Nothing's changed so far, why should it now?
The shows
The parties
The shopping
The friends
Together forever...
But not quite
The New Year
After only thirty days
Has brought more change than I thought was possible
Now everyone is deciding
What they really want
We make our decisions for ourselves
They are painful
They bring...
Change
Why
Does she have to leave?
Why
Do I have to change?
Why now?
No one is quite ready
But it's out of our control
What she feared has come true
What didn't seem possible
Was the inevitable
What we didn't want to notice
Oblige
Think about
Is here
It's here to stay
Again I ask
Why?
