gone to the islands

i didn't know them
all that

well it was strange
they just vanished
one day

yet there was
always this
distance

later i found out
they'd moved away
to the islands

i didn't know them all
that well
but i think i
miss them

it's kind of strange that
they just left

their families behind
don't they miss
their parents?
their children? and
their grandchildren?

but, as they say
no man is...
yet in a way
they always were
islands

i didn't know them all
that
well they seemed nice enough

but
there was always this
distance it was
strange

i hope they are
happy in their new home

on their new islands
