i was wise when i was young

I feel kind of lonely. That all my frens are going gone one by one. Drifting away from me.. like a pile of wood flowing on the river stream, heading for the waterfall. And theres nothing i can do about it. This things happens when we grow up is what i was told. Well then, I wish to never grow up and things would stay the same, and that we'ed all remain friends for long. But that is an impossible, and just a thought.. since time changes us. We'll age and change without realization and later on we will long for the time of our youth.
