My college mates

It’s so many years

Yet I can’t hold back my tears

Remembering my mates
My heart skips a few beats

First greetings to last meetings
Stealing loves to sharing meals

Cracking jokes to making faces

Spoken words to hushed silences

Someone please hand me a compass

For I want to journey back to campus

To those classrooms past the steps and gates
To walk hand in hand with my college mates

Today I am busy meeting deadlines
And those memories come as lifelines

Tell me who has a time machine?

No longer can I stand this separation
