In Passing

I saw an old friend from school today I said, 'how have you been?' He said, 'mighty fine and how's your day?' It's funny but I couldn't quite recall his name But those fiery eyes and friendly smile were still the same You know, quite some time had passed since I last saw this friend of mine Just think, after all this time, he was happy just to see and know I was doing fine He never asked me about the new car I was driving, my love life, or my career He just smiled as he walked away and softly said, 'good to see you again, take good care.'
