Notes About The Poem

Lost Friends

Lost Friends

In my memory, 
we are still best friends. 
There are trips that we take, 
sometimes daily, 
as I escape the life... 
I now have. 

We go to the beach. 
We go to the mountains... 
We go everywhere, together, 
as soul mates do. 
I am lost to you. 

I wish that I could return, 
to the place we began, 
and know that you 
would be there waiting for me. 
But that is just a dream, 
and you are somewhere else, 
with a family, 
and friends... 
of which I 
am not, 
counted among. 

How the deep divide turned
our closeness into dust
is hard to say. 
We all change, 
every day. 
Sometimes for the good, 
sometimes not so well, 
we move to the new, 
and leave the old, 
because we want to be bold, 
but in the end, 
we are less... 
and just
old.

Sandra Doolan July 25, 2022 at 12:52 AM G'day Ann I recently had to say goodbye to a friend, we both have Bipolar and we upset each other too much. It was heart-breaking to say goodbye but the right thing to do. I'd like to be your friend and you could be mine. p.s. you have written alot of poems, very impressive and inspiring. I write rhyming poems, I wish I could do Free Verse, I'll have to practice. Take care. Sandra Ann Foster July 27, 2022 at 7:38 PM We are already friends... Thank you for your kind comments. Happy Day. Ann

Bill Baker July 12, 2022 at 2:29 PM Memories of lost friends can be very sad. Remember the good times and let them go. More are just like you. Looking to make new friends and new memories. :-) I hope I'm one of the new ones, Ann. You'd make a good friend I think. Bill
