Uncommitted

I've been wondering why I don't quite miss
friends I've not seen for a long time.

Memories do come every now and then
but I give my heart to friends I'm with now.

I think it's because I make friends
in daily chats and time spent together

rather than commit myself
to a bond once formed in the exact same way.

I'm afraid you'd find my nonchalance outrageous,
but that's the way it is, even if I feel bad about it.

My idea of friendship isn't one that lasts forever,
but one that lives through day by day.

Out of sight, out of mind?
I'm sorry, it might just be so;

But old friends, when I see you again,
we'll have a reborn friendship between us, will we not?

Friends, have I disappointed you now?
I just think it's only fair

that I let you know what I can and cannot give
up front in our relationship.

And I can't give you any promises
having to do with these fluctuating feelings.

My idea of love isn't forever and always,
but the heart I pour into a moment in time.

If you don't mind that, please walk with me just today,
And we'll see what remains when tomorrow comes.
