Poem

She wrote, “Hey, Joe, how are you?
It has been a long, long while;
I remember all the fun we used to have;
I still remember your constant smile.”

“It seems life has been good to you;
At least, that’s what your social network pages say;
I was wondering if we could meet up for drinks
When I pass through your town one day?”

Her face didn’t look familiar;
Her name, for me, didn’t ring any bell;
I lied and said that I remembered her
And getting together again would be real swell.

I said, my wife would like to meet her,
She loves seeing friends I knew from my past;
Hearing stories about all the stupid things I did
Always seems to make her laugh.

I gave her my cell phone number;
Told her to call if she ever comes to town;
We live a few miles from the city
But it is easy to drive on down.

I never received another reply from her;
That was over three long years ago;
I had forgotten all about it;
I had forgotten her name once again, don’t you know.

Yesterday, on our reunion website,
I saw her picture once again;
It was from a link to an obit,
Saying we had tragically lost a dear, old friend.

It seems she was one of the smart ones;
I don’t know why she would remember me;
I didn’t travel in those circles,
I doubt detention was a place she was apt to be.

I tried real hard to remember her;
What “fun times” we might have had;
But, dots were not connecting;
My forty-years-ago memories had all gone bad.

I sent flowers to the funeral home,
In the town I left those many years ago;
The card read: “Thanks for all the fun times,
Love, your old high school friend, Joe”.
