the elusiveness of time

im sat here beneath a tree, and oh the stories it could tell

its changed in the years since ive left, so have i as well

my first day of high school, underneath it i sat and ate

with all my friends i loved brought together by chance or fate

oh how life has moved on and how i wish i could have stayed

but i must continue onward, for there is life left to be made
