London Calling

An old friend visited today, no longer young Men

Our hair changed, not with dyes or clippers anymore

Two silver foxes, a little rounder than before

We both have partners now, I have kids

Where once warehouse raves and Oxford st debauchery stood

Now roast pork and red wine abound

A bottle shared, just slightly older than the story of us

The bonds that held us together remain unbroken

We laugh and shared our tales, those funny sayings we had

Where’s so and so now, and how did we get here?

Twelve years, as if no more than a weekend had passed 

Promises to make it sooner next time

A warm embrace and gently to bed 

I love you brother
