Consequence of Change by Ben Molloy

I used to pray for you to change, 

to wish for what we once had.

 

I spent years chasing that one summer, 

but now I’m starting to realize,

 

People change.

 

And time was never meant to move backward.

It only moves forward, pulling us further and further apart.

 

I know we’ll never be the same again, 

but I just hope that one day, 

I won’t care that we won’t.
