Wish You Were Here

Life sent us on different paths Miles and more between us Different circles different worlds With time we grew apart Life experiences incompatible We simply no longer can relate Less than nothing left to talk about Yet I can’t help think back to childhood When brother and sister we’d hang out we’d sit and overlook the world Dreaming up adventuresome escapades We had so much more in common Our love for running free What else could possibly matter When connecting at our inner core At times I miss you so that I would ache Like now when I’m on vacation Feeling like I’m in a paradise And there’s so much to explore I wish so that you were here AP: 1st place 2020 Posted on January 20, 2019

Life's changes often bring distance in more ways than one. Well done.

You've struck a chord here, Line, in your painting this sad-but-true picture of the childhood friendship that can nevermore be. Nicely done! And certainly resonates with me. Best wishes, Gershon

This poem took me back to the past as I experienced the exact same thing you wrote about. When we did meet again many years later he was still feeling the way he did back then but I had no feelings for him at all. The person that stood before me was not the same person I loved in high school. The memories were great but my heart was not in it for anything other than friendship now.
