To My Long Lost Friend

There was once a time 
When there was you and I
And we had shared
A friendship beyond compare

No matter how long
We had been apart
Whenever we met
Our bond was untouched

And I remember parks
Laughter and jokes
I remember your eyes
How they smiled

And then we were separated 
And I didn't know
How far you'd gone
And long you'd be

Years pasted
And you were
A faint memory
In the back of my mind

But every once and a while
I remembered you
And our treasured friendship
And I smiled

But then you were
Just a passing thought
Sometimes you'd come by
Others not

What happened I heard
Was so sad
But not for children 
To understand

So when I remembered you
Once again years past
I looked for you
And I found you

My heart sped up
And my eyes filled up
You look so grown
And yet I got that familiar feeling

The bond of friends
That could be siblings
Forever there
For one another

Yet I didn't make contact
And I guess
That's my mistake
I'll learn from

And one day I pray
That on the street
Of anywhere we are
We shall meet again
