Friend

She has been my friend
For 47 years even though
We lost touch for most of that
Time each busy making our lives
Both married both dealing with
Kids and a spouse working to
Pay bills but never too far not
To think of each other from
Time to time fondly and
Tenderly remembering
Our life and journey
Together when we
We’re young and
Madly in love
Despite our
Awareness
We would
Never be
Able to
Make
Our
Dreams
Stay a reality
But too far lost
In passion to think
With our normal cold
Rational minds measuring
All the angles doing research
Planning and making things
Come true as we envision
They should but ruthless
In our determination
Irregardless of the
Mayhem hurt and
Damage we did
Until at last we
Agreed we’d
Best part
Aware in
Our
Hearts
We’re still
On fire as
Well as
Our
Pants,
Aware time
Would not cool
Nor distance dim
The flame of
Our love for
Each other
Even after
Near half
A century,
We are still
Crazy stupid
In love zealots
Breaking rules
Longing for
Our old
Friend
Far
Far
Away.
