Words Speak Loudly

Paint /pānt/ - a colored substance which is spread over a surface and dries to leave a thin decorative or protective coating

Though we started with the same canvas,

we went our separate ways

not all things that start together

will always end together.

It is a lesson we had to learn,

I could tell our time was ending,

As the things we used to do,

Never felt the same.

Though we may have grown close,

We created a different path

Through difference of opinions

Or reasons as simple as moving away.

It was time to end it,

To grow on our own

Begin to mature,

As we painted our own lives.

I could tell the time had come

To move on from the canvas

That had once matched

The friends I called my own.
