Everyone moving forward at break-neck speeds
and I seem to stand still.
Friends looking everywhere for conversation
but cannot hear me scream.
New friends to call "brother",
new names to take the place of old.
New numbers to commit to memory
and I am so easily deleted.
New places to go and relax
new addresses to travel to on a day off.
New scenery to grow accustom to
as the emptiness around me grows
Friends no longer call, no longer reach out.
There are others for that now.
No one around to see my sadness
their eyes cast the other way.
My friends have abandoned me
my friends are their friends now.
They promise to stop over
but never follow through.
They say I am loved
yet they forgot how to show it,
New places and new faces for them
and no time for the old.

Think many feel this way - others move on and you are left behind. Guess you need to make new friends and find other things to do where you can meet new people. We take so much for granted in today's busy world, we often froget to smile or to greet others and make them feel welcome and accepted in organizations we belong to.
Sentiments well expressed.
