Changes

When last I saw you
There with me
The change I saw there
Struck down deep
Where no one sees
My heart took a beating
Fear struck down to my core
And every thought
I'd ever had
Went fleeing out the door
I never saw the sun again
Its light now gone away
And every time I hear your name
The night replaces day
The closest friends
Now drawn apart
Caused me to be afraid
That everything I'd ever known
Would change and stay that way
One day we might
turn out to be
Better than we were
But as of now
My life is filled
With a plague that has no cure.
