Catching Up

How long had it been
Since we had last talked?
Not just a quick chat
In the hall as we walked?
Sadly it’d been years
Since our last heart-to-heart,
And that’s why this memory
Will never depart.

Now that we were both ready
For old wounds to heal,
And both had expressed
Through our paper and quill:
Emotions we felt
Through those years of such pain,
But also that somehow,
There’d been something to gain

The day finally came
When we turned to each other,
Like a lost and found child
To a sister or brother.
And we finally talked
Of the past year or two,
And how we’d both suffered
Though neither one knew.

And talking of all
The emotions we felt
We found once again,
The friendship we’d built.
Although covered in weeds
And slightly weakened by time,
We found that our friendship
Was still in it’s prime.
We still had that something
Between two best friends
It never had broken through
Twists and through bends.

And now I make this vow
To you, and to me;
I won’t loose you again,
For your friendship is key,
To my life being completely
And utterly right
I can’t have that without you
Though try hard I might.
So now you are stuck with me
Just wait and see,
We’ll still be best friends
Throughout eternity.
