My Best Friend

All those years when you were growing so fast Your laughter, no sweeter sound have I heard Tiny fingerprints I knew would not last An impossible wish for time deferred Snowy day's play-acting Lord of the Rings Dodging spider webs in the summer heat The livingroom cluttered with your plaything's I long for those days with every heartbeat The need to see your face overwhelms me You are over a thousand miles away I try to stop the tears from breaking free When you are not with me, my world is grey From the tempestuous child that you were You're now my best friend my soul whisperer 11/22/2019 I want to fall in love with a Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by Melani Udaete
