February 23rd

happy birthday
my sweet friend
this is a date
i don’t forget
my wishes to you
sent telepathically

you were my highschool 
best forever friend
each year I think of you
it saddens me that
the forever part
of our bond dissipated 
i wish life had not torn us apart

growing up has
its aches and pains
still i reminisce
and think of you
especially on this one day
it’s quite inconceivable how
so much water has flowed
under the bridge of time

i wish you all the best
happy birthday 
my sweet friend

I hope the person whose birthday it is reads this beautiful poem - we all lose contacts with some friends, sometime its distance, or circumstance or maybe hurt! Well penned Line, Blessings, Jennifer.
