Why did she have to go?

I wish that she had stayed.

I miss my friend of old,

Growing farther every day.

I can text or call or write

Facebook, email, twitter?

It’s not the same as hugging

It’s not like being with her.

After months of planning,

The miles slip away.

I’m finally at her doorstop

We don’t know what to say.

The kids go off to Xbox,

Or find some kind of trouble.

We talk about our hubbies,

How the gas prices doubled.

How is this and so-in-so?

How much the kids have grown!

Remember good old what’s his name?

And just as time has flown,

We pick up where we once left off

Our secret truths reveal

And share the understanding

That only we can feel.
