Instant friends, We hit it off so well Mutual encouragement Lives starting to gel In an instant gone As quickly as it started Reasons why unknown Left in waters unchartered (Chorus) Can you drop me a hint? Can you offer a smidgen? Was it something I said? Could it be my religion? Something I should’ve done, Or anything I can do To know the reasons For losing you? Good if we could talk Suss out issues ensconced I’ve tried to reach out But received no response Finally thought it best To leave well enough alone So hard to accept A friendship turned to stone (Chorus) Can you drop me a hint? Can you offer a smidgen? Was it something I said? Could it be my religion? Something I should’ve done, Or anything I can do To know the reasons For losing you? 4/26/2020 Photo by Mikael Kristenson on Unsplash

Mark, I feel this poem more than understand it's loss in refrain. Feeling it will have to do. -Richard

Funom, I am both honored and humbled by your kind, gracious assessment of my poem. Sometimes we lose a friend and never know why. Other times we lose a friend and find out from their perspective there was never a friendship. C’est la vie. Best wishes to you and yours, and stay safe! ~Mark
