A Friendship Lost

I cry as sleep is coming on for there's a tree within my dreams, my friend is standing near, it seems-- I turn toward her, but she is gone. She floats through blossoms and beyond. The blossoms on this tree are high; I want to reach them, and I try, but cannot pick them on my own-- so, as I reach I'm left alone. She's gone past clouds, beyond the sky.

Thank you, Jennifer. Yes, her father and my father were best friends for many years, too. So it was a particularly difficult heartbreak. She just said one day that she didn't want to be friends anymore... no explanations. So I didn't argue with her. But, now I have YOU, my fine friend and life moves forward. God bless you always.
