My Friend

We were never a couple, though some may say or think we were, but we were the best of friends. Growing up together we shared both mischief and challenges that married couples and lovers could never understand. Children’s secrets and adventures shaped us to who we were and life began to change us, hand in hand. There were those times when we went our separate ways and on occasion touched by letter or by phone. Somehow we found our way back to those shared dreams and hopes of home in what seemed a lifetime of long ago. It seems the years have not managed to change or keep us apart despite our different paths and views. Friendships both waxes and wanes through time but no truer friend than you can ever again be found.
