The other day I visited friend
she seemed quiet and sad
when I walked up to her
*
I wanted to cry
but just felt empty
even though my heart
was full of her
*
I once knew her so well
better than anyone had
and I guess I just
wanted to thank her
*
for waking up with me
at 3 in the morning
on Christmas Day
*
and for sharing with
me my first kiss and
other fleeting times
lost in the delicious night
*
and for skipping school with us
on those warm spring days
with our lawn chairs, hope
and a sun that was our for the day
*
And maybe someday I'll return
with a family of my own
and wistifully introduce her
as "an old friend I grew up with"
..."my parents house"
