Best Friend

Best Friend My friend, I think of you often. I ponder why we are not together anymore. I was happy, and laughed easy, you did as well. "Why are we not friends, anymore?" I remember going to school, and doing our homework together. I remember bike rides, to the beach, walking in the water, and playing in the tide pools. I remember train rides, sky cabs, and silly fads. We went to the movies, and parties with just us. I remember adventures, without boundaries. We were free, to be, all that we could be, because we had faith in each other. You found a new friend, and she did not like me. She planted seeds of doubt. They grew into great trees, and I was lost among the weeds. I wish that you were here, ... still.
