Been in the offing

Image 1: On the morning of departure, one last time ( Norman, Imran, Kimie and Daniel)

Image 2 :No, not to be. They came back again to the house for a big yarn, just minutes to go

               (Daniel, Norman, Imran and Kimie)

Been in the offing quite some bit
None would want to think about it
Young minds might not realize the pain
They knew good friends would meet again!

They knew young Daniel would move out
To L.A. it had been touted
The neighborhood kids took it plain
They knew good friends would meet again

They cycled with all shrieks and squeals
Or kicking football on the field
They were around with all the din
They knew good friends would meet again

The day came sadly last Tuesday
The day young Daniel went away
PS3 now played with restrain
They knew good friends would meet again

Norman and Kimie set their minds

Next stop would now be Anaheim
