Expectations

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
But the friend I know has become a friend I knew.
And he was a friend indeed.

Why?
Why go?
Why go away?
It might have been better if you could stay.

Parents. Society. Life.
Expectations.
Worry. Worry of reaching expectations.
Worry of being not up to standards.

With the high standards of living comes high costs.
And you had to move away. To another foreign land.

It's always nice when a stranger becomes a friend.
But not the other way round.

How much I wish that I could be with you in Australia.
But expectations.
And even more expectations.
I'll have to stay.

I no longer know your heart.
But you will always be in mine.
