Penned to an Old Friend

Hello! Old friend, You crossed my mind today, After decades of no thoughts of you. Today, I sat across a meeting I'd rather avoid; Then I thought of you. I wonder what happened to the life of us. We were there, then we weren't; Too absorbed by the happenings. We didn't remember to preserve our sight of each other. My old friend, I thought of you today. I found out you also had your share of life and its happenings. I remember you, Just like how much of the past I want to forget. The memories of you are delicately situated in that past, But I thought of you today. I remember the smiles we shared. I still remember that we share the same birth month. To an old friend, Being friends again might not be possible, But I'll always remember that we were once friends. I'll only remember us as friends.
