The moment has passed

we once sat side by side, sharing a joke or two,
once young and naive, and even a fool,
we shared a moment.

then the distance came, and we were separated by miles,
but we never stopped caring,
sending joy and laughters through mails and phone calls,
it was then, we vouched to be there for each other,
through thick and thin, through the good times , through the gloomy moments,
again, we shared a moment.

then the distance came again, this time, the distance is felt at heart,
we were kept occupied - with our studies, with our friends, with our own lives,
efforts to stay in touch , were made in vain,
nevertheless, we still shared a moment

over the years, the distance in miles ceased, for i know you are nearer,
though we were once close at heart, but i've never felt closer like now,
but, it never happened then, and it will never happen now,
for the moment has passed.
