Old Friend

We haven't been in touch for years Our paths took us a different way We've just connected yet again Today feels just like yesterday We have an awful lot to say About the things that we have done Some Memories so good to relive While others they are not much fun It seems some years have not been kind Thankfully now our health is fine We talk about the good old days Our lives have aged just like fine wine It will be nice to keep in touch I'm glad an effort has been made We've reclaimed friendship once again This is a gift I would not trade

This was someone I grew up with and had many fond memories of this part of my life. Too bad the memories were not reality. Oh well there are other more dear friends that mean so much more. Thanks for the comments. I am always amazed that people read what i write. Only because of Richard I am sure. Thanks for reading. Mamabear

I'm sorry your reunion didn't go well....time steals some peoples loyalty and sense of trust I think...very sad....I think some people stay the same..way their whole lives and because of hidden burdens or pain they might be afraid you can see..old friends are allusive like that...maybe just want you to remember them like they were...a lot can happen to someone in twenty years...good or maybe very bad things

Eileen Thank you for the lovely comments again. I met the friend again after 20 years and it was very disappointing. I wrote this before the meeting. Dreams have been shattered Edith
