People Come and Go

People come and go everyday 
just like transit trains go uptown 
and back down town again
but it doesn't explain why 
were never use to the hallow
feeling of being left behind.

For a millisecond you get to meet
and by the end you can't stop
tears from falling when they leave
I can't believe how people can 
leave footsteps on your heart 
without you even noticing. 

I'll never forget the talks
and the many laughs we had
bonds like ours are rare 
and I'll cherish the friendship 
who will I talk to now that your leaving?
I know your moving on for the better
but it's still hard for me to believe

People come and go 
souls cross paths everyone in a while
no one said these bonds
were going to be forever 
I just wish I had more time 
before everything had to change
but a place in my heart is
where you will always remain 
until we meet again
