I often wonder to myself and ask,
What became of you, what's behind this mask?
It's been so long since we've exchanged a word,
Time flies so fast, it's almost absurd.
I think now, if I'd given you more time,
Or the attention you needed in your climb,
For what you faced was more than I knew,
Then one day, you just withdrew.
Believe it or not, I searched far and wide,
And believe it or not, I felt what you tried to hide,
The sadness, the weight of deep despair,
We both carried burdens, we both were ensnared.
But when I found strength, I looked again,
Though I seemed crazy, asking in vain,
Elusive were answers, where did you go?
To this day, it's a mystery I still don't know.
One night in a dream, you came to me,
You looked the same as you used to be,
And I, as I am, in this present day,
We talked, caught up as if all was okay.
"I'm doing fine, don't worry, my friend,
Whatever happened, don't let guilt descend."
I don't know if joy or sorrow I felt,
For even in dreams, the pain was dealt.
Wherever you are, remember this truth,
I'm still your friend, from now to our youth,
Life's lows don't last, the highs will shine through,
And a time of triumph will come to you.
